Think of all of the movies where a human being is floating around in space and develops a leak in their space suit. Usually the person doesn't explode like an overripe tomato hitting the pavement after having been dropped from 50 stories up. Instead, they usually depict it as each cell in the person's body popping. No big gooey mess--just glazed over, slightly extruded eyeballs. I wonder which way it would really happen. Are the movies' depictions based on science?
