Out space is very cold. 🥶 
🇳🇱

@stux its just a few kelvins near earth. somethng like -270 C
re: I don't know what I've been told..
@freemo That's bloody damn cold if you ask me 
brrr
re: I don't know what I've been told..
@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 :)
re: I don't know what I've been told..
@freemo Not gonna cut it
Ah yes true! The heat cannot go anywhere! You know.. now air and shizzle or other transport vroom vroom
re: I don't know what I've been told..
@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
re: I don't know what I've been told..
@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.

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.

Wordsmith quinn is at it again :)
By the way the dogs bloated up like " bloated goatsskin sacks" but recovered enough to walk and be normal after only 15 minutes.
re: I don't know what I've been told..
Hahaha yea, a quick trip through space is possible but it sounds absolutely awful. You would have instant bends, go blind before you go onconscious probably from occular pressure. You would literally feel your tongue boiling off as it freezes. You would bloat up and couldnt really move easily.... it sounds awful.
re: I don't know what I've been told..
Oh and did I mention that if you tried to hold your breath, as would be your instinct, you would have completely destroyed your lungs and no chance of survival at that point... to survive you MUST exhale. We know this even in scuba, if i hold my breath and ascend a few feet I die.
re: I don't know what I've been told..
@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.
