- Awwzm, on 10/29/2009, -0/+20Rapid decompression - what a f'ed up way to go.
- agentsrecord, on 10/30/2009, -0/+17FTA: Microgravity sex is a topic of immense interest to teenage fanboys and scientists alike... If we're ever going to leave the nest, so to speak, we're going to have to learn our way around extraterrestrial sex.
As my civic duty I would like to volunteer myself for future studies in this bold new topic. - RealmDown, on 10/30/2009, -0/+10Your choice.
As MY civic duty, I volunteer myself and Jennifer Love Hewitt for the same studies. - kylescousin, on 10/29/2009, -1/+11They're inside spacecrafts that are also still in space... they don't shoot unprotected animals in orbit with a cannon.

...dear God that movie scares the bejeesus outta me. - kylescousin, on 10/29/2009, -1/+10Your statement "The bodies would be preserved in vacuum" kinda shows the opposite... that you expect the bodies to float in open space ;)
- HotLeper, on 10/30/2009, -2/+10Damn Space, You Scary!
- knifesideleft, on 10/30/2009, -2/+9Partial transcript of a failed space mission
Ground control to major Tom
Ground control to major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
(Ten) Ground control (Nine) to major Tom (Eight)
(Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), engines on (Four)
(Three, two) Check ignition (One) and may gods (Blastoff) love be with you
This is ground control to major Tom, you've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is major Tom to ground control, I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
Here am I floatin' 'round my tin can far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Ground control to major Tom, your circuits dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom? - Jeff901, on 10/30/2009, -0/+6It is alot like drowning, except that liquids that contain gases, like your blood and even saliva, would "boil" as the gas tries to escape.....However, any pain will be momentary as the body goes into rapid shutdown.
- RatherBKayaking, on 10/30/2009, -0/+5Probably beats slow decompression.
- FritoPendejo, on 10/30/2009, -1/+6Not irony.
- Paradise7, on 10/30/2009, -1/+5To survive a space mission, only to get threatened to be eaten by wolves...what? Poor sods. I bet they didn't miss THAT bit of irony.
- drex8, on 10/30/2009, -0/+4Chevron 9...encoded.
- mparker21311, on 10/30/2009, -0/+3I want to see the sex suits.
- jggr, on 10/30/2009, -0/+3Be a lot cooler if they did.
http://cdn.buzznet.com/media-cdn/jj1/headlines/200 ... - RogerStrong, on 10/30/2009, -0/+3In any case they're not still up there. The early flights could only go into very low earth orbit - where atmospheric drag would bring them back before too long.
Laika died a few hours into the flight. Her remains re-entered the atmosphere with Sputnik 2 five months later, in 1958. - CBKBAMF, on 10/30/2009, -0/+3I'm a full grown man... and that's the only movie that I refuse to watch due to it still giving me nightmares.
- AreTooDeTo, on 10/30/2009, -3/+5Well, it's ironic in the fact that they finally made it back to earth (where they thought it was safe) only to be confronted by another danger.
- FritoPendejo, on 10/30/2009, -1/+3Sorry, but a line has to be drawn somewhere or else it could mean anything. Being in danger after believing you're safe is not ironic. The danger of landing off course was known to the planners at that time anyway.
- Lith25, on 10/30/2009, -0/+2Sex in zero gravity sounds extremely fun...and just a tad a nasty.
- JustLoren, on 10/30/2009, -1/+3http://rorr.im/
- Bluucandi, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1Dr. Weir: "Where we're going... we don't need eyes to see! "
- mparker21311, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1Mmm boiling tongue.
- Archaic1, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontrolled_decompre ...
- blackhawk465, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1Good one bro!
- AreTooDeTo, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1Nah, I think it's fine.
- hereticoftruth, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1Actually, they can if you scream right at them. Your breath would head right towards them and they can hear it then. The same with explosions in space. When the debris hits you, you will hear it.
- Ersh777, on 10/30/2009, -1/+2Liberatis tutemet ex infera
- Paradise7, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1Irony: "The incongruity between the actual results of a sequence of events and the expected results of a sequence of events" (Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary). So, the way I perceived the irony was that the astronauts would be safer on earth than in space, but incongruously, they were not. I think it qualifies. Frito may think it doesn't, and say so, but he doesn't have any business stating his opinion so pompously, as though it were a fact.
- hereticoftruth, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1I thought that mummified space alien I found out in the desert looked a lot like a monkey!
- Foenetik, on 10/30/2009, -1/+1the headline reads like something from cracked, and I almost buried it as such.
- NotAChickenHawk, on 10/30/2009, -2/+2In space, no one can hear you scream...
- crash7800, on 10/31/2009, -0/+0Space sex is a pretty weak way to wrap this one up. Meh.
- perfecxion, on 10/30/2009, -8/+4Again with the ***** animals. ***** YOU IT'S SCIENCE AND THEY'RE ANIMALS. ***** nutjobs want lawyers for them too.
- aRtFrEeK101, on 10/29/2009, -7/+2Yes. Most of us knew that as already understood (and common knowledge).
Thank you, Captain (Obvious). - aRtFrEeK101, on 10/29/2009, -10/+2"Mummified corpses?" There is no air in space...Space is a vacuum. The bodies would be preserved. You write for Discovery?
