Good points added by Julia and Sara. I was so caught up in thinking about pressure that I forgot about cold and radiation. Do you know that when you fly in an airplane, you’re up so high that the atmosphere stops protecting you as much from radiation? They have to worry about the electronics on the planes because the radiation can make it do funny things.
Here’s another scary thought – if you let go of the spaceship, how are you going to get back? Even if you have a suit to protect you, you can’t swim through a vacuum. Unless you have things to throw in the opposite direction, you’re just going to drift forever.
Sara’s right – I think on balance, if you’ve got a good space ship, stay in it.
