Now why can't I get questions like this in Medicines Information? "What are the physical effects on the human body of protracted periods of hypobaria? Case in point, if a stellar vessel was venting atmosphere and it could not be replaced (thus a vacuum was forming), how long would a human survive and what would the effects on the body be? (Haemorrhage, hypotension, CNS effects etc?)"

It's all legitimate research, I swear. ;)

Yeah - there's been incidents of people getting acidentally "vacuum-ed" (and they survived) but that's not what I'm after... ohwell.

And "hypobaria" means "low pressure". :)
