Why would our bodies explode if we went into space without a space suit?

Your body will explode yes, but not totally. and no you will not live to see another day, sorry.. =/
Exploding is a myth perpetuated by movies. According to NASA, you would simply lose consciousness in a few seconds and die from lack of oxygen within a few minutes. There would be additional injuries to your lungs (similar to getting the bends when ascending too quickly from deep water), some damage to your ear drums and probably some bad sunburn.

∙ 7y agoThey wouldn't "explode". But we would die because we wouldn't have any air to breathe. And without a protective suit, the water in our skin would evaporate into space, and direct sunlight would give us lethal sunburns pretty quickly. I'm not sure which would be the worst way to die.
If we had a skin-tight protective membrane suit capable of preventing evaporation from our skins and shielding us from sunlight, we would only need a fairly light helmet providing breathable oxygen. We would only need about 2 PSI of pure oxygen, so there wouldn't even be that much pressure.
Future spacesuits are likely to be more like wet suits than the ones NASA is making today.

Would your body explode in space why or why not?
Yes. your body would explode in space if you went unprotected. in-fact you will explode before you can suffocate. this because in space there is a Vacume that sucks up all the air.
Will your body explode in outer space?
Yes, without a space suit the pressure from space will tear your body apart inside-out. You would turn into a red blob in the emptiness of space, however remarkably you would survive for a few minutes before your lungs and body fluids start to tear our own body apart. But it wouldn't take long for you to freeze or choke in that time.
What will a helium filled balloon do in space?
the ballon would explode when it is in space, because the is almost nothing in space. so the helium atoms would spread and the balloon would pop.
What would happen to a body in space An already dead person with a suit and without Since there is no oxygen and no bacteria would it decompose or what?
With or without a suit on, the body would decompose because our bodies contian bacteria in our digestive tracts.
What would happen if everyone on the Earth died?
The earth would turn brown and explode, polluting the space-time continuum. Also, space may turn green instead of black space.
Can you survive in space without a spacesuit?
no their is no oxgen and your head would explode
What would you do if we ran out a water?
We would all die because without water, our bodies would dehydrate (i think that how you spell it) and our bodies would shrivle up and explode... :)

Would your head explode if you went into space with no space suit on?
No it would not. You would get the bends.
Would your body explode if you went to outerspace without a suit?
yes because you cannot breathe so your body would compress do to the force of the space around it.
What would happen to the human body in outer space without the protection of his suit?
He/she would suffocate, freeze, and explode due to lack of oxygen, heat, and pressure.
Do blob fish explode if they touch the ocean floor?
No because their gelatinous bodys withstand the easier pressure but anyways they would not explode from coming up their bodies would crush from the inside to the outside not explode!

Can you explode by being on the moon?
no your body would freeze you would suffocate and get vacuumed in to space.
What would happen to a person if the air pressure was not kept up out in space?
you would explode
How does air pressure affect us?
It keeps you in shape, it actually presses 50 kilogram I think (I'm not sure) agaist our bodies. if it weren't for the air pressure, we'd explode like we would without a suit on in outer space. Too much or too little and it might harm us.
How do anstronauts not live if they go to space without a space suit?
"There is not atmosphere in space, so there is not pressure, and your body would explode without a suit applying artificial pressure. Also you wouldn't be protected in any way from solar radiation and would probably fry. Of course you also need the Oxygen the suit provide to breathe. "
