If you were exposed to the harsh depths of space,

and be dead within 30 seconds to 1 minute.

But what if you're wearing an advanced, powerful spacesuit?

Well, that would buy you about 6 hours  before your oxygen runs out,

Or would it just keep floating  through space forever?

and here's what would happen if you died in space.

The human race has only lost 18 people  in more than 50 years of space exploration.

But with upcoming plans for civilian space travel

odds are that we're going to be seeing a lot more space deaths.

So how would we hold a funeral in zero gravity?

And what complications would be involved?

They are essentially strapping themselves to giant rockets, after all.

But because astronauts have to be  in top-notch health for a mission,

the odds of one of them dying on the  International Space Station are pretty low;

so low that NASA doesn't even have an official policy for how to handle the situation.

According to former astronaut Chris Hadfield,

it would be up to the commander  of the ISS to decide what to do.

The first problem at hand would be that there's nowhere to store the body,

space stations don't come  with built-in morgues.

One solution would be to keep the body in a pressurized suit,

so you'd want to keep the bacteria as  far away and contained as possible.

But what if you don't like the idea of sharing your quarters with a stiff?

In 2005, a Swedish company proposed a system that essentially freeze dries bodies,

and breaks them up into tiny pieces of  frozen tissue, kind of like a cremation.

If you don't happen to have any liquid  nitrogen aboard the ship to do the freezing,

the ice cold temperature  of space will do the trick.

could the most obvious solution have been  staring us in the face this whole time?

so couldn't astronauts do the  same and send their dead off into space?

Theoretically yes, but space is a little  more complicated than the sea.

Unless you strapped a mini rocket to the deceased,

they would end up following the trajectory of  the spacecraft from which they were ejected.

And if you did that with  more than one person,

it would make for an unpleasant journey  when you decided to turn back home.

Okay so maybe that's not the best option,

so what if we waited until we reached our destination?

We bury people on Earth, so surely we can  do the same thing on other planets, right?

Well, the digging would be a little different,  but that wouldn't be our biggest problem.

Human bodies, especially the non-living variety,

are full of Earthly microbes and bacteria

that would contaminate any potentially habitable locale.

have to be repeatedly cleaned and sanitized

to protect the alien planet from Earthly bugs;

so the only surefire way to safely dispose of a body there

I hope this hasn't ruined the majesty of space travel for you but

it's a reality we have to consider as we move  further into the age of space exploration.

Maybe next time we'll focus on something a little more upbeat,

like if cats' hair never stopped growing,
