Indefinitely. With food water and oxygen

Edited:

Without gravity the human body would soon loose function of their organs and muscles. Which includes heart, liver, lungs. Only a few months without gravity the human body starts experiencing these effects. NASA has a strict exercise regiment for astronauts to prolong the unwanted effects. With exercise a human can live in a contained area with food, water, and exercise for a few years.

How long can a human stay in space?

There is currently no specific limit to how long a human can stay in space. Astronauts have spent up to a year on the International Space Station, but long-term effects on the body are still being studied. Extended stays in space can lead to muscle atrophy, bone density loss, and other health concerns.


How long can you survive in space?

* You would lose consciousness because there is no oxygen. This could occur in as little as 15 seconds. * Because there is no air pressure to keep your blood and body fluids in a liquid state, the fluids would "boil." Because the "boiling process" would cause them to lose heat energy rapidly, the fluids would freeze before they were evaporated totally (There is a cool display in San Francisco's science museum, The Exploratorium, that demonstrates this principle!). This process could take from 30 seconds to 1 minute. So, it was possible for astronaut David Bowman in "2001: a Space Odyssey" to survive when he ejected from the space pod into the airlock without a space helmet and repressurized the airlock within 30 seconds. * Your tissues (skin, heart, other internal organs) would expand because of the boiling fluids. However, they would not "explode" as depicted in some science fiction movies, such as "Total Recall."("How long can a human survive in outer space") Howstuffworks How long can a human survive in outer space 5 April 2008

Can a human survive in outer space?

Sure ... as long as he has oxygen, pressure, suitable temperature or insulation fromthe temperature of space, and shielding from the levels of harmful radiation in space.Provide the necessary conditions, and humans can survive anywhere. Without any ofthat, maybe 10 minutes in space, less than that in some other places.
