    Honestly if I was floating away into space with no way to get back to the station, I’d probably talk to Mission Control to try to get in touch with my family to see if I could talk to them one last time, then I’d ask mission control to help me figure out the easiest and most painless way to die without having to wait until my air ran out. Although, by running out of air you’d eventually pass out from the carbon dioxide and lack of oxygen for an ultimately painless death, but again that’d take many hours. Likely excruciatingly long, and anxiety inducing hours. And I don’t know that I could handle sitting there with my own thoughts for that long knowing what’s going to eventually happen.
    That’s terrifying and tough to wrap my mind around. I hope none of our incredibly brave astronauts ever have to experience that.

      It would actually not be painless because you’d be slowly suffocating
      It’s not like one minute the air is there, then the next it’s gone. It is gradually reducing and over those 7 hours you start to suffocate and gasp for air that isn’t there

      @@MM-we4no Well ya, I suppose that’s true. You’d have trouble breathing which would be quite uncomfortable I imagine. But once you got to a certain point the oxygen would be too low and you’d just pass out. Maybe it’d be better just to pop the seal on your helmet then. Idk. I’m just guessing. It’d be unpleasant any way you look at it though because even doing that wouldn’t be instant or painless. Scary thought.

    • @CrippledMerc

      @@thelittlestmig3394 Right. That’s what I thought. I’ve seen videos where they take people into hyperbaric chambers and have them take off their oxygen mask and after just a matter of a minute or so of being off oxygen they increasingly get giddy and behave as if they were drunk, and if you don’t put the oxygen mask back on eventually you’d pass out and never wake up.
      As the previous commenter mentioned though, depending on how quick it onset, you might feel like you were suffocating depending on how quick the hypoxia set in. Which I’m not sure about, I’m no expert or anything. From what I’ve seen with pilots in hyperbaric chambers, they don’t seem even slightly distressed when they take off their mask. But then again, the chamber pressure is usually set at like 30,000ft or something, so there’s still some air, just not enough to keep your brain functioning for very long. I imagine in a space suit it would be similar because there’d still be oxygen to breathe, just not enough. And hypoxia sets in pretty damn quick at 30,000ft. This is all guess work by me as to how it would go in a space suit though. Lol

      ye from what I understand your brain will slowly have less oxygen available and work less and less actively. So it will feel like you're getting sleepier and sleepier and eventually just fall asleep, then go to coma and eventually reach brain deadness.

    @channelkarl 2 ปีที่แล้ว +918

    From an engineering standpoint: Would it be possible to install an emergency valve allowing the astronaut to vent their own air supply into the maneuverability module in a worst case scenario? IIRC the current gen of those space jetpacks have about 70-90sec of thrust before they're spent which is really not a lot of control, even accounting for not needing constant thrust in microgravity.

    • @zombieblaster5754
      @zombieblaster5754 2 ปีที่แล้ว +55

      Thats a pretty piss poor amount of fuel for being in space. Im sure they could easily fit a different or more gas without too much weight. All you need to do is provide propulsion. Of course I dont know how much thrust it gives but still

    • @backonlazer791
      @backonlazer791 2 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      That would increase the risk of some valve or other part giving out, possibly disabling both your oxygen and thrust at the same time. I don't know if the added complexity and risk would be worth it even if it would be possible.

    • @mommy2libras
      @mommy2libras 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I'm not sure this would work but I was thinking of some kind of magnet, maybe attached to the extreme points of all of the crafts, stations, etc and each suit has one as well as a switch that controls the field- oversimplified, turning them off and on. And if they started floating away, flip the switch that turns them on, causing them to be drawn towards whichever one is closest. The problem i see though is interference with all kinds of other equipment. But I'm no engineer and have zero idea of space construction so I'm not sure what everything is made of, nor how everything works. It seems likely that not all space equipment is equal, seeing as it has been developed and installed over decades in which technology has made huge advances but that all least some would be interrupted by a sudden magnetic field.

    • @dandywaysofliving
      @dandywaysofliving 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Easier solution.
      Leave the suits as they are.
      .
      Have a belt with 2 cannisters or a seperate item that all astronauts carry when outside of the shuttle.
      .
      It'd be the equivalent to wearing a life vest on a boat u wear over your clothes.
      .
      Attach a suicide canister for the worst scenario and maybe a a personal belonging capsule.
      .
      It'd be a fair amount of effort and thought towards their last moment.
      2 canisters for returning to base and 2 canisters for if u can't.
      1 for ur last moment.
      And the last to end it.

    Space travel is an excellent thought experiment on the Dunning-Kruger effect (the less you know, the more you THINK you know). Most people probably have very little fear of space travel, or colonizing Mars, because while we generally know it's dangerous we don't have any relevant personal experience to make it real. We THINK we know the risks. Now, think about diving deep under the ocean or flying in a small plane in bad weather with a lot of turbulence. Most people DO have experience being underwater, and flying in a plane that encounters turbulence, and that fear is visceral.

And if you were near the Earth, being able to see it would be both beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. So close but yet so far. Kind of reminds me a bit of the stories of people who fall off cruise ships out in the open ocean and end up drowning after treading water for hours.

    Well to be fair, running out of oxygen is the most painless way to go. Hypoxia feels like going drunk, having a good time and then falling asleep feeling a little tingly (assuming you can get rid of the carbon dioxide acidifying our blood and making it extremely uncomfortable). When we consider the other options being death by starvation, dehydration, radiation, or being exposed to the vacuum of space, running out of air definitely the way I'd choose to go.

      @@inthelight565 Hitting your back and going out of air is entirely different from slowly suffocating. Losing breath due to impact means you also experience pain from impact and actually got a sudden shift in oxygen. You gradually losing oxygen over a long period of time is a lot less noticeable than that. For one it'd take ages and secondly if there's not enough oxygen provided to the brain you'll lose brain functioning over time to the point you might as well be drunk or have a good time. There's even a hormone we make on when we know we're dying that actually makes sure you feel kinda okay. Forgot the name but the youtube channel Roanoke gaming has some great explanations on human biology and the various ways you can die.

    3:40 Note to those who may wonder. Technically weight is a measure of how much gravity is exerted on you, and thus you on it. What we're talking about here is mass and momentum. This system was probably tested on earth by connecting two 4.40 sand bags and dropping them to simulate a sudden shock as that sorta simulates the same force that the ties would be under if the mass of two bodies were suddenly flung outward into space.
    Also, technically you aren't weightless in orbit, you weigh the same as you always do, you're just falling forward faster than you are falling down, and everything around you is falling at the same speed so it feels like you're not moving.

    • @VergilArcanis

      @@VergilArcanis To an extent it's not. It's not really possible to be weightless, it's possible to be without momentum, theoretically... But... In comparison to what? With a universe that is expanding and moving around us how could one possibly measure a state of motionlessness. The thing is that on the international space station, you weigh.... probably a little less than you do on earth, but not by very much. If something happened that arrested the momentum of space station, and you, it would just fall directly to the ground at whatever it's terminal velocity is...well.... Actually it would burn up from friction but you get the idea.
      Motion in space time is weird to comprehend in it's totality. And frustrating. The further away you get from earth the faster you have to go to maintain orbit, but the slower you have to orbit... So out at where our weather satellites are, which have a higher orbit even than the moon, they are traveling so fast that time dilation is measurable, but their orbit is also so slow that they basically sit as a fixed point in what we would consider the sky. So in that, the space station will appear to move across our sky multiple times at much greater speed, even though it is actually moving much, much, much slower than the weather satellite which from our perception sits still.
      But I'm not going to go into time dilation and momentum and mass and etc because that will authentically break many people's brain.... Even I have to invent fictitious scenarios to entirely wrap my head around it.

      @@ParadoxEcho when i say negated, i mean in a 2-D chart pointing out vectors, different direction forces can "cancel" out gravity, menaing the vector value is the same as the force of gravity. it all depends on what point of reference you use. For orbital weightlessness, the gravitational pull is cancelled (or negated) by the force applied by the orbital acceleration (like in rotational kinematics) or in most people's vernacular, Centrifugal force.
      Outside of a set system like that, the distance between celestial masses make it confusing, like you said, making the direction hard to tell if not downright impossible.

You feel weightless because you no longer feel the circular force of the earth physically moving you through space. Like when you have a hanging plate with a cup of water on it and you start circling the plate around and the water doesn't move. Same thing.

    • @Englishsea24

      From what I know, the Van Allen belt is the earth's magnetic field capturing and repelling solar radiation away from earth, protecting us, and the space station and other equipment needing repair sit within the confines of it, so the astronauts who go up to maintain the equipment don't actually pass through it, but if they were to break free and drift away, they certainly would and it's unlikely that unlucky astronaut would live as long as seven hours. The Apollo missions broke through the belt and I think the astronauts were exposed to some radiation, but not enough to kill them, as their craft were built with some protection. Hope this helps, as I'm no expert

When they do, like on the Moon, they die of cancer many years later, or quicker, depends how much time they spent and in how intense radiation.

      The problem is the word, "aim". Spacecraft for example need some sort of attitude reference, a guidance computer and a steering mechanism to keep the engine pointed in the correct direction during an engine burn so as to make the spacecraft go where they want it to go. If you just start firing your jet pack without properly aiming it first you will wind up propelling yourself all over the place until you eventually run out of propellant.

      Anyway, you must be asking about my answer. I am a nerd about growth mechanics. All things appear to be motivated by growth, because anything that isn't is dying until it perishes utterly. 'Growth' includes expanding oneself, making copies of oneself, and cooperation between individuals to become part of something greater than oneself.
      I compared a universe with no gravity -- totally even dispersion -- to a universe with gravity -- concentration in dense bodies -- in terms of how well each promotes growth. The difference is almost binary. Dispersed matter rarely interacts, while concentrated matter literally can't get away from other matter. Proximity transforms matter into more powerful things.
      To me that was a compelling argument as to why gravity is a thing, will always remain a thing, and not quit on me.

    Fuel is definitely the answer. The longer you are drifting, the farther you would get away from the station. So anybody trying to rescue you would have to expend no less fuel than enough to double that distance to try to get to you. With luck, they could activate your suit to get you back if you were unconscious and for some reason the wireless activation wasn't working. If they can't get your suit working though, their suit has to do all the work, and the amount of fuel needed increases again, because they'd have to get to you and drag double the amount of weight back, all while being untethered themselves.
