What kills you first in space? (1 Viewer)

Space is something like -450F. That won't take minutes.

There were reports during WWI that men were frozen solid in the process of living. Matches in hand in the process of lighting a cigarette and so on.

Space is a near total vacuum. Temperature doesn't quite translate to what it does in an atmosphere.

It also depends on if you're shadowed by a planet e.g. the Earth, and how far away from the Sun you are. If you're not then its going to be the opposite - extremely hot. Check out the difference in the temp on surface of the moon between night and day.

You also need to consider kinematics of heat transfer.
For example, when its well below freezing and you're near a body of water, its always better to be on land despite the temperature in the water being warmer - above freezing (otherwise it woudln't be water).

Without a thick fluid to conduct / convect away heat, that leaves only radiation as the form of heat toss. Which is relatively slow. Our bodies are going to keep a reasonable temp for some time - especially because our bodies are heat engines anyway.

Don’t have to go to Texas (ever) at Camilla Grill you can get chili omelette
But most get them at 3am drunk [mod edit tvp] bc most people aren’t gastronomic sociopaths

Just wanted to verify that I'm in fact still alive from my chili breakfast. Wonder what leftover taco bell would be like for breakfast?

Was it refrigerated or did it sit on the counter?

Refrigerated....I'm not that daring.

Enough to launch you into space.

I just realized that OP title implies you can get killed second (and maybe more in space) - like zombies or something?

Well, we're Saints fans. We're not in space but I think we know what it feels like to die a thousand deaths.

We definitely know what it feels like to be revived, only to be suffocated over and over again.

I was told there’d be a sweet relief in death
I have found little sweet or relieving in last two games
