Out space is very cold. 🥶 ​

@stux its just a few kelvins near earth. somethng like -270 C

@freemo That's bloody damn cold if you ask me ​ brrr

@stux I do suggest a sweater and scarf yes :)

Interesting fact, despite being super cold it is rather tricky to cool things in space... cause physics :)

@freemo Not gonna cut it ​

Ah yes true! The heat cannot go anywhere! You know.. now air and shizzle or other transport vroom vroom

@stux well you can still get the heat off of things. But you are limited to one of the three heat transfer methods, radiation. Ther eis no convection or conduction.

@freemo And that's slooww, hoomans will become like a big beef jerky in plain space right ​

@stux Attached you can see the giant heat radiators the ISS needs to use. This helps cool off the ISS systems using radiative heat (they are designed to be black-bodies and radiate it as IR)

Humans in space would essentially turn into astronaut ice cream but it would take some time. They would freeze dry.. so first your blood boils (though this isnt very fast since your enclosed in a meat sack). The boiling off of water will cool you until you freeze (likely hours), then your frozen corpse will sublimate (the ice turns direct to gas).. over days youd eventually be jerkey.

@stux interesting fact. You could, in theory, take your helmet off in space and survive for a hot minute. You probably will be pretty beat up when you get back in. But death isnt as fast as they show in movies.

@icedquinn

15 second conscious time or more, 90 second survival time more if you want actual numbers. That is based off tests on dogs. but all ddogs survived <90 seconds and they all stayed conscious for at least 15 seconds.

@icedquinn

Also fuck whatever scientist stuck dogs in hard vacuums, thanks.
