so I wonder, if there was say a momentary loss of pressure in an airlock and you were exposed to the atmosphere, if you got out of the situation within the 30 seconds, would you live after that? I mean long term. I'm just curious about long term effects if you did get out of that situation within the 30-60 second timeframe.

Pete, if you don't remember to breathe while talking you gonna die even here on earth.

#1 tip for astronauts: Don't forget your spacesuit when going into space

Depends on how much space and potatoes I have.

It's a little irrelevant, but if Mars has any life then it's most likely underground with the water, which would make it hard to find. If there is life then it would most likely be some sort of worm like creature, I theorise.

So I'll turn into Luffy!? Let's GOOO!

-
some said that if you stayed in mars you cannot get out there.

An interesting note: If you stand on top of Olympus Mons in the daytime you will most defiantly see stars in the sky. This ancient volcano stands so high that it could be seen above the planet wide dust storms and cloud cover. If you could jump high enough you could essentially jump from the planet’s surface and into space. Since the volcano has since become extinct, this would be a perfect place for a major star port.

Mars there is the biggest volcano in the universe

if you go to 20 C place and take a sunglasses you will survive 2minuts

so how close to accurate was Robinson Crusoe on Mars?
-
Well done young man!

You would actually lose consciousness in about 8 seconds & suffocate from lack of oxygen.If you held your breath your lungs would expand & tear
-
Mars' atmosphere supports a lower decibel limit and increases frequency.So,yeah,you sound like a Silbo Gomero inhabitant(Spanish tribe that speaks in whistles).
-
If you decompressed slowly with an oxygen mask could you survive? Divers do the opposite when coming up
-
Thankfully we don't need to test Venus and we test Mars though but yeah he is right you have a good chance of dying 😔

When the sun becomes a red giant would Europa or another outer solar system moon?
