What really happens if an astronaut dies in space?

  • October 5, 2025

If an astronaut were to step outside a spacecraft, the Moon, or Mars without a spacesuit, the outcome would be immediate and fatal. In the vacuum of space, the lack of air pressure would cause blood and bodily fluids to boil, while suffocation would follow within seconds. Such scenarios, though rare, highlight the absolute necessity of spacesuit integrity during all extravehicular activities.
