You could only last 15 seconds without a spacesuit — you'd die of asphyxiation or you'll freeze. Narrator: What would happen if you went to space without a spacesuit? The vacuum of space will pull the air from your body. So if there's air left in your lungs, they will rupture. Either way, your body will remain that way for a long time.
