What happens to the human body without suit in space? The question often appears in conjunction with the new sci fi movies, writing CNET , who has explored the issue further.
Do not hold your breath
There is a reason that astronauts use solid protective suits when they step out into space from the International Space Station. Without it, they often had great chances to survive.
Should you end up in that situation ever (?), It might be nice to know that you will remain conscious for a little while after exposure of the naked space.
It is indeed crucial to not hold your breath. Doing so will your lungs expand lynkjapt and let air into the circulatory system (blood, blood vessels and heart). Then it’s over in about 15 seconds, because your body will use up all your oxygen reserves.
other hand, you should allegedly have a highly theoretical possibility to survive for up to two minutes If you instead start breathing out, according to CNET, but this is explained somewhat closer.
spacesuit is essential for survival in space.
swelled up
Meanwhile, after about 10 seconds, you will know that the skin and the tissue begins to swell. This is because the body water evaporates. The skin is still so strong and resilient that it will keep the organs and entrails some. Here writes CNET that if you come back quickly in a pressure chamber, the skin and the tissues ready to normalize itself again.
During a failed test spacesuits in 1965 , received NASA test person Jim LeBlanc find that his tongue began to swell, when it was a hole in his suit while He was in a pressure chamber. He fainted after 14 seconds, but came from the event without lasting physical injury. It was because NASA quickly restored cabin pressure.
Finally, we mention that despite the low temperatures in space, you will not freeze to death without a protective suit and oxygen supply. You are in fact strangled before the body has time to dissipate heat.
website HowStuffWorks also mentions that you are exposed to extreme temperatures between minus 100 degrees C to plus 120 degrees C. They also write that a trip outside the space shuttle no suit would also prone astronaut to large amounts of radiation. Micrometeor moving at high speed may also be a threat.
Eternal graveyard?
But what happens if an astronaut dies in space? That question did research department University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) . They envision that if the body is close to a heat source, it will be mummified – that look like a mummy. With space suit on, but away from a heat source, it will happen composting body, about as fast as the earth. It is estimated, however, that the skeleton will survive forever, as long as it would not fall down to a planet.
Without spacesuit will all water bodies evaporate lynkjapt, thus stopping all biological processes. Ergo no composting. It also means that the body in theory can float around in space for almost forever, at least for a short time. (ANB)
