The whole thought of including Roddenberry and Lucas in the same breath with
SFWA Grand Masters like Clarke and Asimov makes me want to go home early :)

Mike,

Frank Poole was the guy who died outside the space pod. David Bowman was
the guy who entered the space ship through the emergency hatch.

Food for thought: Imagine what Captain Kirk would have been like if he
had a light sabre! Imagine the dinner conversation between George Lucas,
Arthur C. Clarke, Gene Roddenberry, and Isaac Asimov!!

Live long and prosper.

Presumably the guys in Starwars looked in their history books and saw
that way back in 2001 Astronaut Frank survived going outside without his
full spacesuit. (Yu may remember he had to get back into the Ship
without his helmet because HAL the computer had thrown a hissy fit and
locked him out.) ((Those of a certain age may even still be able to
remember back to the 1960's when this entire debate with exact same
arguments also took place,)) 
(((and if you are still interested enough you can read all about it in
Arthur C Clarke's subsequent commentary in one of his later books I
think it was called something like "The view from Serendip")))

Happy Friday

Mike

OK, so your in space, no space suit. about to boil or blow up. And a
tree falls over, do you hear it? Did the squirrel manage to get to
safety?

Ok, who's sad enough to have their own light sabre?

Going home for a rest shortly....

You probably won't explode. Just swell up and start oozing all of your
fluids. Have a good lunch.

Assuming the body temp is ~36°C, the vapour pressure is ~40 mm Hg, so my

guess is that, if the extracorporal pressure is less than that, you'd 
boil and die of massive embolisms caused by vapour locks, although your 
lungs may turn inside out first. I don't think explosion is a option, 
although, if you excuse my being crude, you may fart so much that the 
jet propulsion effect will send you out of orbit :-)

The debate is over what the affects of deep space is on the human body.
One side supports the idea that in a gravity free environment the human
body would be depleted of oxygen and death would come from asphyxiation
while the other side states that the blood would boil and the human
organs would explode. As so, the Star Wars movie in this scene is
inaccurate.
