Apparently, I would last 1 minute 17 seconds.. With about 15-20 seconds of useful consciousness..

I actually think about this often... And it terrifies me...

I don't know but my brother tells me a fly survives surprisingly long when microwaved.

1 minute and 11 seconds for me :aok

I survived in Oklahoma for a couple hours. The vacuum of space doesn't scare me.

yeah I saw that play too. I thought i had died after about 15 minutes, I was revived by the alcohol i drank in the bar next to the theater.

There is a problem with the test....
...it does not ask whether or not you'd wear a space suit.

It's obviously meant to be without a pressure suit...

It depends on how close you're too the sun and whether you're facing the sun directly or in the shadow of a large object.
In low Earth orbit, facing the sun you would feel immense heat and singe your skin while suffocating from lack of oxygen due to 200 degrees F. On the shadow side of Earth, you would feel immense cold and experience total frostbite exposure instantly while suffocating from lack of oxygen due to -200 degrees F. In both cases, lack of atmospheric pressure will cause your blood to boil making you experience extreme pain but no oxygen to allow you to vocalize screams of pain before you die.
Using low Earth orbit as a bar, farther away from the sun your experience will be greater than the shadow of Earth and closer to the sun your experience will be greater than facing the sun.
Once away from the electromagnetic field of a planet, you'll have to endure at the same time the harsh solar radiation being pierced through your body cooking you inside like a microwave. If your outside the electromagnetic field of the sun and in interstellar space, then the interstellar radiation will be much stronger and cooking you inside faster. If your outside the electromagnetic field of the galaxy and in intergalactic space, then the radiation there will be the greatest and cook you the fastest.
Space is the most extreme dangerous enviroment to be in.

Wow, surprisingly 1:29.
:cheers: Oz

1:35 hehehehe. or not. Would rather have it 1.35 milliseconds if the occation would be there. Not likely though, the highest alt I have been to is 43.000 feet or so.

How long can the vacuum of space survive chuck norris?

How long can the vacuum of space survive chuck norris?
Now ya done it!

Congrats! You could survive for 1 minute 35 seconds !
In the first 30 seconds any fluid on the surface of your body would begin to boil due to lack of ambient pressure, this includes the saliva on your tongue and the moisture in your eyes. Your eardrums would most likely burst due to the pressure in your body trying to equalize with the vacuum outside. Unlike what some science fiction films have suggested, your body would not explode.
After the first 15 seconds you would lose consciousness. If you held your breath you could potentially stay alive longer but you risk pulmonary trauma. If you didn't hold your breath you'd pass out sooner, but your lungs might have a better chance of avoiding permanent damage.
The pressure in your veins would rise until your heart no longer had the capacity to pump blood, at which point you'd die.

I'd be good for 47 seconds. :uhoh

In a zero pressure atmosphere water boils at 32 degrees F. You're pretty much nothing but vapor after the first second.

Not true... You don't turn to vapor.... You don't explode.. All the sci-fi movies with people exposed to vacuum are horse manure..
The scene in 2001 when Dave Bowman has to go from the pod to the air-lock without a helmet is probably the most realistic..
-
I must be underestimating how good of physical shape I'm in.. You guys are all getting 1:20 seconds or more.... Mine said 1:17...
I can suck vacuum longer than that... lol For sure....

Battlestar Galactica gets it right too.
That said, I don't believe the experts who say vacuum is survivable that long. I want to see what they're basing their claims off of. Just like I don't believe experts who say they found evidence of recent liquid water on Mars. Chemistry says people explode in space, and H2O isn't liquid on Mars.

1:41 :confused:

1:11, and kinda scary thinking about the idea of that happening :lol

It's a cool way to die though :uhoh
And then your body floats for eternity through space, until that large object of gravitational pull comes along. ;)

Chemistry does not show that people explode in a vacuum.. And it wouldn't have to do with Chemistry, it'd be physics in the first place.. You're basing that off of movies like Outland which make it gory for entertainment purposes.. And yes, liquid water can exist on Mars under certain conditions.. Perhaps you do not read enough.. :rolleyes:
They are basing their claims off of incidents like this... This guy was exposed to vacuum after a hose from his suit broke loose.. He didn't explode.. He survived... And lived to tell about how he could feel the saliva boiling off of his tongue..

So, you go to Purdue? Apparently you're not paying attention in school there.. Purdue is well known for making astronauts... Shame on you..

Curious as to why you don't believe them.
I'm not a scientist, ( I do watch NOVA ;) ) but I am kind of a space junkie guy, and the evidence that was found with Spirit and Opportunity is very conclusive. The concretions they found can only form in the presence of liquid water on Earth, common sense says they formed the same way on Mars. NASA, JPL and hundreds of university scientists who have seen the data from the rovers agree. Not to mention the actual photos of ice sublimating they have from another probe. It is likely that Mars has polar ice caps not that far under the red dirt.
Personally I'm excited for what the next rover named Curiosity will find... fossils perhaps.

isn't it 30 seconds according to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

Oh man, even microbial fossils and I would be ecstatic. I just know they gotta be there. We Earthlings can't be that lucky.

It is chemistry, although chemistry and physics are closely related in situations such as this, so it may depend on your point of view. Anyways, with regards to Mars, the chemistry of water does not permit it to exist in liquid form given the conditions of temperature and pressure that exist on Mars. And I never took a chemistry class at Purdue, I scored high enough on the AP exam to test out of it. Blame my high school.

Here's specifically what I don't believe: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2000/ast29jun_1m That little scrape into the liquid phase. Gimme a break, they are reaching in order to get funding.

You left out a major factor as to how liquid water can exist on Mars.. Salinity.... You are awesome that water is water is water is water, and it in fact is not....
I guess you shouldn't have skipped those chemistry classes...

They had no bearing on my major, then or current, and they have little bearing on my life now other than fending off a forum troll. So I dispute your assertion that I shouldn't have tested out of (I didn't skip anything) chemistry.
That said, the idea that liquid brine might exist on the surface of Mars today is more realistic than what we earthlings think of when someone says the word "water". Since you're too lazy to provide a link to back up your claims, I'll do it for you: http://earthsky.org/space/mars-might-have-flowing-salty-water-on-its-surface .
As an aside, my knowledge of high school chemistry is just fine for this, I simply wasn't aware that Mars was so salty. I never saw that mentioned until I just now googled for the phrase "salinity of water on mars". And I still require far more evidence, such as a pool of evaporated brine at the bottom of a depression, before I'm willing to believe. Its far more likely that the terrain features they described are made by briny glaciers than briny liquid.
Edit: Or even more likely than all other scenarios... its still all just made by wind erosion.
