Watching 2001: A Space Odyssey last night, brought on a conversation with friends
today about existing in space for short periods of time (seconds) without having
suit protection. I thought that I had read someplace that any death from
"exploding" wouldnt happen immediately, but gradually within seconds. Can anyone
answer this and provide reasoning or references to such. I'm not looking for much
opinion, but rather some hard facts.  Thanks much.
