In an absolute emergency, you could probably get away with it for a few seconds. Just long enough to get some of the water out.

It takes several minutes for hard vacuum to actually kill you.

That's assuming it's even possible for astronauts to open their EVA suits while outside.

Reply to comment by _Dnikeb in TIL, the placenta that forms with a fetus isn't created by the mother. It grows from the fertilized egg and some fetuses actually develop outside the uterus attached to the intestines in the body cavity. by darw1nf1sh

Are you saying humans gave birth long ago in our past without a placenta? so how did the baby get the nutrients from the placenta passing through the umbilical cord? I’m confused.

I thought I'd recalled something like that.

It's right near the city park dedicated to prostitutes.

All the regulations apply. We need a daycare in case they want to bring their kids to work day on the ISS.

Imagine the terror of your helmet filling with water and all you want to do is take it off, but you’re in space so that would kill you as well.
