| Apr 22, 2015 at 22:12 | comment | added | Nerrolken | It's worth noting that without his mask, he DID get pretty messed up, pretty fast. That scene only lasts 20-30 seconds, and by the end his skin is frosting, his eyes are bleeding, etc. With his mask he lasts longer, but the flight from the Kyln to his ship is, again, only a few seconds long. Being unprotected in space is possible in Guardians (as in real life), but not for very long. | |

| Apr 22, 2015 at 13:39 | comment | added | DevSolar | Space being "cold" is not the same as some gas or liquid around you being "cold", because space is empty. Compare walking into a sauna with 90 degrees Celsius air temperature, and jumping into a body of water heated to the same temperature. (Ninja'd by Hypnosifl.) | |
| Apr 22, 2015 at 13:38 | comment | added | Hypnosifl | I don't have an in-universe answer, but in reality cold wouldn't be an immediate problem, since the vacuum is a great insulator that slows heat transfer (a thermos uses a layer of vacuum for just this purpose, see here). The main problems have to do with the lack of pressure, which according to this article on vacuum exposure means that "the gas exchange of the lungs works in reverse, dumping oxygen out of the blood" (along with other less immediately fatal problems like 'the bends'). | |
