[@markclemente1503]

MisterWealth you clearly didn’t listen to everything she said then. 1) she said the helmet likely wouldn’t crack like that, which is a fair assessment of the movie. So that’s what she decided to focus on because it was funny. 2) she noted that they had jet packs but that astronauts wouldn’t be using them to just fly around. They only used them in dire situations. The jet pack situation was about space walks and she took note of the situations in that movie that would be highly unlikely, like using the jet packs like that.

[@Tinyvalkyrie410]

Tobe Evans she probably knows. We have done plenty of experiments with biological specimens in vacuum (or near vacuum like mars) and their eyes and tongues do not expand this way. In fact you can survive in a vacuum a surprisingly long time (30 sec to 2min depending on a lot of factors). The biggest immediate threat is if you hold your breath instead of immediately exhaling, because you could burst a lung. I’m sure she had to learn about it during her training, because knowing what to expect could save your life in an emergency. My guess is she commented on it, but the editor decided to cut it out, because they thought it was too obvious or less interesting.

absolutely, and its been used several times on unmanned missions when the rocket goes out of control. the one time it was used on a manned mission is when the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up the solid rocket boosters (the long white ones) on each side of the external tank survived and flew out of control (you can see this in the explosion videos and the two arc away) and after about 30-45 seconds they became a threat so they were commanded to self destruct.
