We all have thought about what would happen if we got lost in space. Think about it. What if you were on a spaceship on your way to Mars and suddenly, the ship was over loaded, and they had to throw you out in space? First off you would die in less then 2 minutes. if you were in a space suit, you would not decompose for as long as the suit lasted. first what happens is that your lungs swell very quickly with gas but you wouldn’t explode because your skin is too tight for that to happen. you shouldn’t hold your breath because your lungs would burst completely. after a couple of seconds you would lose your vision and then you would pass out because the oxygen leaves your blood so quickly. after that you would die because the circulation in your blood would stop completely and you die of asphyxiation.
