How will the public respond to a astronaut dying at the station?
: Jeff Findley
: 1 The bends is caused by a *decrease* in pressure resulting in N2 : bubbles in the body fluids. This is why the astronauts "camp out" in : the airlock module, with reduced N2 in the atmosphere, in order to rid : their bodies of excess N2. And... there's no way to reduce pressure in space after a period of high pressure? In any event, the point is that *if* there's *enough* water, lots and lots and lots of things *can* go wrong. But the first reasonable thought upon hearing of a water leak isn't really "the water might cascade through the ISS, all die, oh the embarrassment!". But it's Bob's first thought. |

no my point and the linked articles stated that much water in a sealed suit could of caused death or major injury, like aspirating water......
suits have too little water to flood the station.... although the free blobs of water had to be cleaned up fast, they were a danger to the station |
