Re: Why is Space a Vacuum
Your blood won't boil at all unless it's exposed to the vacuum. Your own internal body pressure prevents that. If your skin were punctured any blood that escaped the wound would boil off though. If you were to sweat it would boil, and the saliva in your mouth would probably boil off. But the fluid in your body that was not exposed to the vacuum would be fine. At least for much longer then it would take for you to die from lack of oxygen anyway.
Your blood wont freeze immedietly, because of the previously mentioned fact about vacuum being a very poor conductor of heat.
