loaded question; varying on radiation levels where you are, direct exposure and distance to solar rays, absolute zero temps. that being said your eyes would pop from interoccular pressure, eardrums bust, lungs would probably collapse. blood vessels popping at the capillary level close to the skin, massive embolisms. in a cooling process your blood would boil, body heat and moisture would create a sheet of ice over you. all in all it's about as bad as watching 'brookers' channel on youtube.

i think what's interesting is how they test for the bacteria. this is what they did on mars and why there was a big stink about life being the mars. the rover scopes up some martian soil and puts it in a chamber and introduces a chemical that if there is bacteria present, the bacteria will metabolize the chemical releasing a radio active isotope of carbon, C14; the same stuff used in carbon dating. it's my understanding that we don't have any pictures, our only proof is the carbon test.

well there's 2 things that would happen. first your body would expand because there is no atmospheric pressure to resist the expansion that your body normal exerts. our atmosphere is at about 14 lbs/in^2 which means to stop the atmosphere from crushing us our body has to push back at about 14 lbs/in^2. the other factor is the ridiculously cold outer space which resides at couple degrees above absolute zero, say -270 degrees Celsius. so as your body is bloating out it was also freeze solid.

if there was no explosive decompression, and if the body wasn't boiled by radiation then I think that the human body would simply freeze in the cold of space.

So can someone clarify this for me? What would actually happen to a human body completely exposed in outer space minus a suit.

Good stuff, hope the Cassini mission is extended for 20 more years. What's the limit on how close it could get to the hot water jets of Enceladuss, the flash frozen life from the Enceladus "Ol' Faithful's" hot water geysers?? At the snail's pace our missions are on since criminals rob our economies of it's life blood through banking systems then noone wants to fund NASA with even 1% of our GNP. We may go where the Dinosaurs went before we get to colonize other planets. Pretty sad...

pobre estos huevones q buscan vida en planetas q no puedn xq o tan muy lejos o muy serca del sol, no entienden q para la vida necesitan un balance como el q tenemos de n tar ni tan lejos ni tan serca, deberian de pensarn en otras cosas mientras q analizan ese planeta

We can live on Titan |
