Damn interesting

Well this is a website about interesting things, such as what would happen if you were exposed to the vacuum of space. THE vacuum of space, and damn if it isn’t interesting, or obvious if you have any common sense. Yeah, those Hollywood movies really had us fooled... CURSES!

Everything, from giant carnivores centipedes to gravity trains, even the lost city of Atlantis might have been found, and is thoroughly explained on ‘Damn Interesting’.

Oh and you won’t freeze to death in space because there is no way for the heat to leave your body, you’re in a complete vacuum, how is the heat going to travel out of it!?

Yeah, it makes so much sense, I feel like an idiot for thinking you'd freaze and explode in space...

Nah, don't feel like an idiot. I'm sure you did the same marshmallow-exploding science experiment that I did in high school physics. Extrapolating from that makes sense.

I thought the blood would boil faster than it does, but I guess life does defy the second law of thermodynamics, and it would continue trying to do so until it simply couldn't any more.

Wow, that's fascinating stuff! I'm amazed. I assumed that you'd last a matter of seconds in space....not minutes.

It sure wouldn't be a few comfortable minutes though...

Heat can travel through a vacuum by radiation (the reason why the nightside of the Moon is so cold). Also, the moisture on your skin and eyes flashing to vapor would take some body heat away with it.

Of course in vacuum asphyxiation would kill you long before radiation could take away enough body heat to be an issue. In old movies and comics they would have people pop like balloons in vacuum- even after Clarke and Kubrick showed it right in 2001.

True, it would happen eventually, but not because of it.

Would be one heck of a surprise being released into empty space and finding out in horror you're actually still alive, for minutes! What a way to go...
