Do you have any idea how many times I've had to explain to people that human beings can survive in a vacuum for a short period of time? :damn:

The catch to surviving in a vacume (For that 15 secconds or so) is to empty your lungs completely of air before the vacume hits you. Otherwise, the gas will expand inside you and make you explode.:know:

So will the gas bound in your blood in your veins, only the initial material integrity of your vein'S walls stands against this.
Survival in the vacuum of space is estmated to be possible for not longer than 20 seconds, 25 at best. There is the vacuum, and the cold.
But even if you "survive" it, you need to expect most crippleing damage to your eyes, ears, skin, inner organs, lungs. I hope I would not survive it.

Apropos: France today has introduced the successor to the TGV high speed train, named AGV. It is capable of record speeds of 360 km/h. Main difference to the TGV is that unlike the TGV it has no engines only at top and end of the train, but engines under every single wagon.
