You Don’t Explode in Space

According to NASA, a human (or animal) exposed to the vacuum of space without any protection would not explode, or implode, or boil, or turn into a super-hero. Rather, you’d eventually die from the lack of oxygen. If you get back inside quick enough, you could survive unharmed.

Good to know.
