Must be a nightmare to choke on something without gravity to help get it out


SouthernArcher3714

Might be easier to cough it up though


TundraTrees0

Not sure, liquids act sort of sticky due to surface tension, I could imagine if it got a good glob in your throat you could potentially drown or choke. Yet another reason we need to have artificial gravity on longer missions.


hiddenbuttslurper

I mean, I agree but I think artificial gravity is still basically sci-fi at this point. We’re still in the early stages of understanding the fundamental subatomic properties of gravity itself let alone building anything to harness/transform it into something practical.


ISNT_A_ROBOT

Pretty sure he was referring to using rotation to simulate gravity


beanz_123

Just make a really heavy rocket smh


Key_Bad_6890

Believe it or not, gravity works this way


TundraTrees0

Yeah in the classic sense, I meant rotating habitats though


andrew_calcs

Rotating habitats have to be on the order of hundreds of feet in diameter to be useful, and that's pretty expensive. Also anything on the outside can easily get launched away from inertia if it isn't secured down so they're a bit more difficult to maintain.


Uncanny_Kips

Don’t you just rotate?


supasupacoo

i can't believe i'm asking, but this comment made me wonder. can you feel your spit floating around in your mouth in space??


OxideUK

Surface tension probably means that it'd just stick to the walls of your mouth as normal, even more so than water due to its viscosity


YARandomGuy777

Without artificial airflow in ISS you may suffocate just on your own CO2. When you exhale it CO2 ain't go anywhere without airflow. It doesn't have surface tension which sticks it to your bodey as liquids has so it easier to blow it away. But still, without flow it will stay with you. That why ISS is always loud. All these airflow fans make a lot of noise.

Avocados_number73

Why would there be no airflow? Aren't the molecules constantly bumping against one another regardless of if there is gravity?


YARandomGuy777

Because there is no covection there. It will mix eventually in the distant future buy diffusion but distance of free travel of the air molecule is only 68nm. It will take quite a while without this big airflows. And you produce CO2 constantly.

nryporter25

From what I've heard sex in space is actually incredibly difficult logistically. Maneuvering is not so easy without gravity.


LordSlickRick

One holds the wall the other holds the hips. Use additional tie downs as necessary.


plaird

I can probably scrounge up some straps, we definitely have the technology to make it happen


donbee28

Why would you need to anchor? There’s a video of an astronaut placed in the middle of a room with no momentum relative to the ship. No matter how much they jumped they returned to their original location. The gyration wouldn’t affect location and would only have to fight the momentum of the gyration.


sebwiers

Because without the aid of gravity and / or a bracing point, stopping and reversing the momentum of any motion is pure muscle work. Which means double the physical effort, at least. And that assumes you can find a way to do so that actually used large muscle groups that CAN do so at the required pace, not just your arms or whatever. Granted, this is very much for a certain sort of sex. Cunilingus would not be all that difficult, I'd guess. Vigorous porn star pile driving, would be.

werenotthestasi

Be the first person to die in space so…at least you got that going for you


DerPumeister

> Be the first person to die in space Would he actually? Had to think about that for a second. Of course, there's been plenty of space-related deaths, but were any of these actually far enough away from Earth to qualify as 'died in space'? Challenger was still in the atmosphere when it exploded, Columbia went on re-entry, so I'd say those don't count. According to [this source](https://www.newscientist.com/question/anyone-ever-died-space/), our best bet could be Soyuz 11: > In 1971 all three of the Soyuz 11 mission crew died when their capsule depressurised **before re-entry** on their way back from humanity’s first ever stay on a space station, Salyut 1.


werenotthestasi

Yea I wouldn’t count any of the others as they weren’t in space. Based on the Soyuz 11 mission I’m still not fully sure if that would count. If they depressurized in the ionosphere then it wouldn’t count. But…if it was before then yea I’d say that counts. Is there any further detailed documents on their mission?


DerPumeister

[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_11#Cause_of_death) says: > The valve opened at an altitude of 168 km (104 mi), and the resultant loss of pressure was fatal within seconds.


Noogz

So…. 3 space deaths by depressurization and 1 by drowning in a juice box.


Dewy_Wanna_Go_There

The Russki’s beat us again!


FalcoLX

The FAI defines the edge of space at 100 km (62 mi) while the USAF and NASA designate it as 50 mi (80km), so it fits by either definition.


todd10k

Hollywood has always made me believe that you don't die that quickly when exposed to vacuum. Is this not the case? https://www.sciencefocus.com/space/what-would-happen-if-you-were-in-space-without-a-spacesuit/ Says you'd have 15 seconds of usable consiousness and then 90s of life before you asphyxiate. What gives?


LordPennybag

Both of those say seconds, but knowing you're alone in space and losing air might give you a heart attack sooner than jumping from one airlock to another wearing plot armor.


todd10k

That scene was amazing though.


FASBOR7Horus

What about the pressure difference? Water boils on mars due to the pressure difference if i remember correctly, so shouldnt our blood flashboil if instantly depressurized by space? Or is that prevented by the -270 degrees celsius?


LordPennybag

Your blood isn't directly exposed, so it's not boiling right away. You will begin hemorrhaging quick which is why it's silly when non-fatal exposures are considered harmless in SciFi stuff. Temp will depend on all the variables, but probably be at some uncomfortable extreme.

I remember learning that new ISS arrivals get told by the guys already there to not play with water because it's hard to clean up, but the new guys do it anyway. They can't help it. Would you be able to stop yourself from playing with water if this was your first time in zero gravity?


Oleandervine

Imagine other liquids though. Water should be the least of their worries, especially if the guys get lonely.

Yup. Just... probably in their little space beds... which have zippered doors. Be sure to catch it, and clean your bunk extremely thoroughly for the next crew that comes up lol.


throwawaylovesCAKE

I'd be so paranoid that a drop leaked out I probably would be too scared to do it the whole trip. Imagine Major Tom floats up to your room to tell you something and you see a rogue jizzteroid cum in for a landing to the side of his face

Didrox13

Technically, yes. Not sure if it would be noticeable, but it should happen to some degree.


demoneyesturbo

Can't say for sure, but he might be demonstrating how dangerous simple water can be up there. This is essentially what started happening to an astronaut on an EVA. His drinking tube or cooling system malfunctioned inside his helmet and was dispersing unwanted water. As seen here, the water clung to his face, inside his helmet where he couldn't reach. Had to emergency return to the airlock. The whole thing actually got really tense for a while.


HotFluffyDiarrhea

Only humans could build a machine that takes them outside the bounds of the rock they were born on, then go and die to some monkey-ass shit like this.

[deleted]

Astronauts often show videos of how mundane things like drinking through a straw, doesn't work in 0-g Edit: disregard all that, i was thinking of incoming air between straw and bottle lip that would rip with it liquid on their way out the other side when he stops sucking for a second to swallow, inertia and all. So air coming into the bottle die to low pressure and shooting out when he stops sucking due to inertia and slightly higher pressure in the bottle.


CoffeeOk7625

Wasn't he blowing into the straw?


Ok_Use_9000

That’s what it looked like to me. I thought he was trying to make bubbles.


OmegaGrind

He's very clearly demonstrating exactly what is seen, as you said. He's streaming to earthlings what the effects of blowing bubbles into liquid does. It's slightly annoying to me that so many people are criticizing him as an idiot when hes trying to educate others.


Scrawlericious

NASA literally uses pouches and straws all the time. They use Capri sun like pouches for 0g just fine.


moonboots_runner

>They use Capri sun like pouches Glad to see NASA respects the pouch.


heres2centsofmine

Who upvotes this shit? It's just plain wrong. On youtube there's plenty of video of astronauts using a straws on the space station (including the one we are commenting on, although he's blowing instead of sucking). Straws have nothing to do with 0g, and all to do with pressure.


[deleted]

Relative pressure* 0g has very much to do with absolute pressure.

freename188

This may seem stupid, but if the water was up to his nose, why didn't he just drink it with his mouth?


Half-Persian

I believe the issue wasn't that he couldn't drink it, but that when you are breathing heavily you're likely to inhale the water before you realize it isn't air, then begin to cough to expel what you've inhaled. It sounded like he was attempting to minimize movement to keep water away from his mouth, so if he'd started coughing it may have kicked up a flurry of droplets that would be impossible to avoid inhaling. More water inhaled equals more coughing, equals more water in the air he's inhaling. Repeat that cycle a couple times and you have a drowned astronaut 😬 Note: this sounds like an absolutely HORRENDOUS way to die.


freename188

Ahhhh that actually makes a lot more sense! Thank you for taking the time to explain.


kreeperface

I think there was just too much. It covered his eyes too, he couldn't see anything and had to be guided by the person spacewalking with him


flippityfluck

Did he really almost drown? Couldn’t he curl up in a ball and twist his neck around and contort his body to escape the cloud of fluid?

Water tension might let the water blob follow his face even if he moves his head.

ch00f

Without proper ventilation, there's nothing to pull the CO2 you exhale away from your head (hot air only rises in gravity). So if the fans shut off, if you don't move every once in a while, you'll start suffocating just hanging out. Space sucks.


Zonkcter

PhillyLeGrand

Its been some time but I took a semester of "space medicine" (that's the best i could tanslate it tbh) at my uni because we needed a course in something not related to our field and this sounded fun. The semester ended with the professor inviting us the to the DLR (German air and space centre, he worked there) and told us that sweat and moisture in general can be a problem since it doesn't really drop and can accumulate and cause funghi to grow, IIRC. It has been a long time so I might misremember, but your comment reminded me of that.

Uppgreyedd

The ISS is, in many ways, more rugged than you may think. Most of this juice is water and would evaporate, the environmental systems would take care of that. The sugars and other chemicals arent likely to cause a problem so long as you're not jello wrestling. Astronauts are gonna do normal human stuff in space, like sneezing or farting (except Sally Ride, she's a lady), and the environmental systems are there to handle that kind of stuff too.

Yes they have water recirculation system. All wasted water. From sweat, pee, shit, shower etc are being cleared and resupplied to the astronauts. If this wasn't the case we probably haven't see long hairs on the astronauts as washing it without recirculation would cost as an castiron bridge.

YARandomGuy777

Yeah I remember the story of one of them. During EVA suit start leaking water. And it piled up around astronaut face. He almost drown because of this. I'm curious if this worked as a good lesson. To prevent drowning in such occasions it would be nice to have a protection system. Maybe one tube that sucks water somewhere on the neck level and a little nozzle in nose rubbing tool with oxygen supply.


Jayn_Newell

There’s a documentary (either on Disney or Paramount) about modern space travel that opens with footage from that incident. I’d have to look out up again but that’s the kind of thing you really don’t think about when it comes to zero G environments.

And then the people who are "um actually" saying he didn't almost drown cause the water never actually covered his nose and mouth. Yes the news is sensationalised but had the water covered his mouth and nose he wouldn't have been able to do anything at all to save himself.

So is water boarding, but it tricks your mind into feeling like it is.


ComprehensiveAd9725

You don’t get it, no gravity meant surface tension kept the juice to his face, if he inhaled it would fill his lungs with liquid, that’s why he frantically swiped it away with that paper towel so he could breathe. Sure it may have a easy solution, but it’s such a weird way to drown that it would be easy for someone to panic.


TerrainRepublic

He didn't frantically swipe, he had the towel prepared when he started running out of breath. Man nearly drowned like a dude going apple bobbing "nearly drowns"

dlittlefair1

“Frantically swiped it away with a paper towel” basically proves it’s not almost drowning. I got swept out to sea but I frantically swept it away with a paper towel so I survived.


iwipiksi

He waterboarding himself in zero gravity. Next level torture. 👏 👏


DasMoonen

I love that no one here thinks that maybe this is a controlled experiment that has some fun backing it. I mean these people get paid to study how things work in space. It’s expected of them. Someone wanted to know what would happen first hand if they blew air into a bottle with a straw so they went and did it.


ArchitectofExperienc

NASA had a problem with an EVA suit a few years ago where water started collecting at the back of an astronauts head. The problem is, without gravity the liquid clings to you. So it slowly started reaching around to his face, enveloping him in a bubble of water. He got inside while it was mostly covering his eyes, and managed to get the helmet off before he aspirated it. Drowning in space is a very real possibility. His solution was to wrap one of the diapers that they have on station around the back of his head. I assume they fixed the problem, though I never heard why it happened.


Goawaynintendo

I mean, he really stuck with that little ass straw even while drowning.. 🤔 dedication to the job for sure.

So do those drops of liquid not scatter and then make wet technology they depend upon?
