The greatest advocates of astronauts in the silent and endless darkness of space specially designed spacesuits.

This can occur in clothing even the smallest hole It can lead them from disaster to disaster. So what exactly happens? A similar test has been done before!

Why do astronauts have to wear special clothes?

Because there is no atmosphere in space, astronauts need pressure to protect their bodies. This clothing also creates internal pressure. Also the temperature in the room Because it can change quickly Clothing allows them to balance their body temperature.

Of course, the benefits don’t stop there. Harmful radiation from the Sun and other cosmic sources, called “micrometeorites”, very fast moving particles provides protection.

So what happens if an astronaut’s suit gets a leak while he’s in space?

A tear in the astronaut’s suit quickly reduces pressure and blood with body fluids evaporates quickly. This entails loss of consciousness. But what happens doesn’t stop there… As the pressure of the suit decreases, the oxygen mask stops functioning and breathing becomes impossible.

As we mentioned above, the temperature in the room to -270 degrees It can land and run in sunlight. It won’t take long for an astronaut whose suit is torn to survive being exposed to such temperature fluctuations.

A similar test has been done before.

The fluid on your tongue can boil, said Jim LeBlanc, who was exposed to a vacuum in a test chamber in 1965. LeBlanc’s consciousness after her suit was leaked for 14 seconds He remained conscious.

According to him, that was the last thing he felt it bubbled on his tongue. Of course, they repressurized the chamber and he was safely resuscitated.
