What would happen if you went into space without a spacesuit?

A former commander of NASA’s International Space Station (ISS) revealed exactly what would happen to humans if they venture out into space without a spacesuit. According to the astronaut, going out into space unprotected will lead to a very painful and horrifying death.

What would happen to your body if you died in space?

If you were near a source of heat, your body would mummify; if you were not, it would freeze. If your body was sealed in a space suit, it would decompose, but only for as long as the oxygen lasted. Whichever the condition, though, your body would last for a very, very long time without air to facilitate weathering and degradation.

What happens if you hold your breath in space without a suit?

The situation in space is a little different than here on Earth due to the lack of outside pressure, and if you held your breath in space without a suit you’d be in a big trouble. This is because any remaining air would rapidly expand, rupturing the lungs. After losing consciousness, you’ll probably last a couple of minutes maximum before you die.

If your body was sealed in a space suit, it would decompose, but only for as long as the oxygen lasted. Whichever the condition, though, your body would last for a very, very long time without air to facilitate weathering and degradation.

What would happen if you were to go to the Moon?

The short answer is that you would die. The longer answer is that the environment of the moon, aside from the gravity, is the same as outer space, meaning no air, tremendously cold, bathed in radiation, and without any means of protection you would asphyxiate, boil, and get radiation poisoning all at the same time.

How would a human survive on the Moon without a space suit?

Were humans to choose a crater, cover it with a heat-shielded, reinforced dome, and fill it with air and equip with air conditioning and plants to scrub the air, a person could survive there indefinitely without a space suit. I even believe China may be the First Nation to colonize the moon in this fashion. Human would die of suffocation.

What would happen if you went outside the Space Station?

If you were to step outside a spacecraft such as the International Space Station, or onto a world with little or no atmosphere, such as the moon or Mars, and you weren’t wearing a space suit, here’s what would happen: You would become unconscious within 15 seconds because there’s no oxygen.
