Talk:Space exposure

message: Opps, forgot to sign in to insert that introduction section as per converstation with user:Suniti karunatillake.
A suggestion on cleaning it up would be to simply separate the article into it's facts.  The first part is the meat where it is explained what will happen and the details around that.  The next section would be the "History" of space exposures where the Dates/time/locations/details of known documented exposures have happened.
By separating them it makes it easier to understand and is then on it's way to being Wikified.

message: This article seems to detail the effects witness on subjects in vacuums created on Earth, which I reckon are weaker than those in outer space. If this is true, would the effects than be different? Correct me if I am wrong. ~ UBeR (talk) 17:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Earth vacuums vs. Space vacuums=

message: There just isn't. I don't know where that came from.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by
:The Millennium Falcon enters a cave in an 'unstable' asteroid where small creatures apparently attack it. This might lead some to falsely believe there the spacecraft is in a vacuum as are these creatures. After Han Solo consults instruments to confirm there is an (apparently unbreathable but sufficiently warm and pressurized) atmosphere in the cave, he and Leah don a breathing equipment and leave the spacecraft briefly to successfully discover the nature of the creatures which are a threat to the external power cables of the Falcon. The creatures. Han shortly thereafter theorizes (not spoken) that they are not actually in an unstable asteroid but inside a large creature. The asteroid reacts violently to a laser bolt, confirming his theory, and he flies the Falcon out expeditiously. After the Falcon exists the mouth of the eyeless creature, it extends out of the cave (that it is in) and attempts to swallow the Falcon again. There is little doubt that at this point, the creature has exposed itself, at least partially, to the vacuum of space (assuming it was in a vacuum previously). However, this would not be at all analogous to human exposure to space. Also, Han's reaction and to finding and identifying the small creatures and what little information he provides about them indicates that they have very little difficulty surviving in a vacuum. Yet again, not analogous to human exposure to space.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.197.244.98 (talk) 21:31, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  There is no exposure to space in The Empire Strikes Back 

message: I can't remember the book but don't Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect get "spaced" in one of the books and they survive? Yeah, that would make a nice add to the science fiction heading. (forgot how to use wikipedia)
:Yes, they survived because someone in the universe was running a spacecraft using an infinite probability engine and as it was powering down through finite probabilities, it reached the same probability of two passengers being rescued within a non-lethal time after being ejected into space. Since there was an event taking place that matched the engine's current probability, the spacecraft was infinitely likely to rescue them. 30 seconds was the time to lethality in this case though it would seem they were picked up long before their window of survivability was due to expire.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.197.244.98 (talk) 21:43, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: No Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?

message: I recall Bownman is only exposed to a vacuum for about 10 seconds, which is survivable. I don't know the exact figure in the film, but in the book it states he was exposed for 15 seconds. 82.4.15.210 (talk) 18:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Space Odyssey Exposure

message: The TV show "The 100" uses a form of spacing called "floating" as a means of execution. This could be included and cited in the popular cultural references section. --Nickjf22 (talk) 06:10, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: The 100 Space Exposure

message: According to this article " hypoxia causes gradual loss of cognitive functions starting at about 3 kilometres (10,000 ft) altitude equivalent". I did a skydiving course where the 1st jump was from 10,000 feet, just from a light plane, no apparatus or anything, surely they don't fly light aircraft high enough where the pilot "begins to lose cognetive function"?

thread_title: 10,000 feet seems low?

message: The following sentences seem to contradict each other: 
"Ebullism, the formation of bubbles in body fluids due to reduced ambient pressure,[2] is the most severe component of the experience. "
"Less severe effects include the formation of nitrogen gas bubbles and consequent interference with organ function (decompression sickness), " Asgrrr (talk) 16:16, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
