"Maybe a vacuum breach on the moon, and I think I'd have time to shout "oh fuck!" before I froze. "
The pressure in the vacuum of space is so low that the boiling point of the fluids in your body decreases below the body’s normal temperature (37oC), which results in the formation of gas bubbles in your fluids that can really mess you up.
You’ll swell up pretty bad, perhaps even up to twice your normal size, but you won’t explode as your skin is very stretchy. Your blood will also not boil. You will, of course, be in an immense amount of pain and your blood circulation will be impeded.
As mentioned, the other serious danger is a lack of oxygen. After around 15 seconds, your body would have used up all of the oxygen in your body and you’d lose consciousness. Some of you may be thinking “But I can hold my breath for minutes!”
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.
In sum - you’d swell up, burn, mutate, pass out and your lungs might explode. Lovely.
But don’t worry, if you’re ever in this sticky situation, you’ve probably got a solid minute or two to be rescued before you die, so chin up.

I want to go to the Bermuda Triangle, and be one of the people who 'goes missing' and for me to live in a parallel universe that no one has yet discovered, but me, and many others are having a wonderful time |

"As long as I'm not alone I don't really care.
We all die alone
OP's granddad didn't  "
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship (and accidents) can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

Surely the boiling gases in our brains, coupled with the enormous swelling it would undergo, render us with loss of consciousness almost immediately, before 15 seconds have gone? We would perhaps have fragmentary bits of consciousness in various neurological pieces, but that'll be about the limit. Probably insufficiently to even think 'shit!'. |
