NERDS GONE WILD

A human could theoretically survive unprotected in space for about 90 seconds. Long enough to regret several life choices.

✓ TRUE FACT
Without a spacesuit, you’d likely lose consciousness in ~10–15 seconds as oxygen in the blood drops, but you might be revivable if rescued quickly. Severe injury from vacuum exposure (and lack of oxygen) becomes life-threatening within roughly 1–2 minutes.
