Vacuum is a excellent insulator, heat does not transfer very well as radiation, it would take a very long time to freeze. The biggest problem with jumping into space would be explosive decompression. as we all have internal pressures in our bodies that would cause damage to if the outside pressure were to drop to zero instantly. (Think of your ears on an airplane and multiply that by 100) That's part of what causes divers to get the bends. Secondly as you lower pressure the boiling point of fluids drop rapidly,All of the fluids in your body will start to boil in fairly short order if you were to jump out of an airlock causing massive tissue damage.

so while a human might survive for a few moments in vacuum, they would be in dire condition when recovered.

There was alot more scientific/poetic license in the film but this one was the most dubious.

Still it was an entertaining film, But should have left the slasher stuff out of it!

Nicely said :thumbs:

 

However, "sounds in space" annoy me more than any other inconsistency. Kubrick got this one right at least.
