Can You Survive in Space Without a Spacesuit?
-
Given the statistics more people die crossing the road than jumping from an aircraft. My view, if the same numbers were involved I'd beg to differ! ;) Good luck with the jump.

There is also a statistic that older retired people are safer drivers than young people that is often bandied about, but when you factor in miles / km's driven they actually have a far worse driving record than young people who have just got their license.

Figure I will get this out of the way: Chuck Norris could survive in space!

I swear I'm going to start reporting any CN reference as abuse, let it die, the rest of the world has a *long* time ago, why this bunch of nerds seems to be so far behind the curve is a mystery to me.

In the beginning there was nothing…then Chuck Norris Roundhouse kicked that nothing in the face and said “Get a job”. That is the story of the universe We live in an expanding universe. All of it is trying to get away from Chuck Norris. Nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole, except for Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris eats black holes. They taste like chicken. Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks don’t really kill people. They wipe out their entire existence from the space-time continuum. Scientists have estimated that the energy given off during the Big Bang is roughly equal to 1CNRhK (Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kick) Scientists believe the world began with the “Big Bang”. Chuck Norris shrugs it off as a “bad case of gas” Human cloning is outlawed because if Chuck Norris were cloned, then it would be possible for a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick to meet another chuck Norris roundhouse kick. Physicists theorize that this contact would end the universe. Chuck Norris’ roundhouse kick is so powerful, it can be seen from outer space by the naked eye.I think Chuck has space covered, along with most of astrophysics...[Insert Witty Sig Here]

I would hope it would not become the "new Xtreme sport" however, accidents and necessity have brought (and will bring again) such events. One of the reasons for experiments in testing exposure to space. What happens if you have to evacuate a station and have no suit and can't get a hard-dock? Movies like 2001 were considered "boring" because they didn't have the "excitement" of movie-made exposive decompression. But the truth is, if necessity calls for it, temporary exposure is survivable and could even be used deliberately in emergency situations.

Why in the world not? If people are willing to do extreme things I'm perfectly willing to crack a beer and watch them do it. It's a (purportedly) free country you live in after all.

Nasa is experimenting with a new reusable rocket system propelled by a Chuck Norris standing roundhouse kick. Although a spinning round-house kick was considered, no material known to man can yet survive the power of the kick. The hope of findng such metal could mean that man could reach Mars in days rather than months. The search is on.

:zzz: Can we all just move on to something a little more relevant and current than the tired old CN jokes?

John Cardinal has counted to infinity, TWICE. John Cardinal can divide by zero. When Super Man goes to bed, he wears John Cardinal pajamas. There isnt a chin under John Cardinal's beard, only another fist. John Cardinal destroyed the periodic table. The only element he recognizes is the element of surprise. Jesus can walk on water, but John Cardinal can walk on Jesus. John Cardinal once threw a round house kick so fast that it traveled back in time and destroyed Emilia Earhart's plane...

I thought this was an interesting article. I wonder who would actually have the gall to try it? Can You Survive in Space Without a Spacesuit?[^] And a NASA Link[^]
God Bless, Jason
God doesn't believe in atheist but He still loves them.You might enjoy this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81gn2oLeC_U[^] It's a jump from a balloon at 102,000 feet (the highest ever attempted).

Chuck Norris doesn't pee, he unleashes urine!

John Cardinal spoke and lo there was true wit and intelligent discourse to be found in the lounge from that moment onwards. ;)

But wouldn't John Cardinal need to type in order to initiate such splendors in the Lounge? ;P
