His second EVA on 16 July 2013 was terminated after only 1 hour and 32 minutes, when the helmet of his Extravehicular Mobility Unit suit started filling with water.[14][15] Water in his helmet posed the danger of drowning and made his return to the airlock even more difficult, as orbital sunset had occurred just before he started to return.[16] Engineers found that contamination had clogged one of the suit’s filters, causing water from the suit’s cooling system to back up.[17] On 15 January 2016, astronaut Timothy Kopra experienced a water leak in his spacesuit.[18]
Remember in The Little Mermaid when her air bubble kept getting smaller and smaller? That, but in reverse: you have a little bubble of water stuck to your face and you know as soon as you try to breathe, you drown…
It took way to long to find something decent about this, so many shit articles and videos. I could probably find something better with more time but I gotta sleep, this is the best I could do and it’s good enough IMO.
The nightmare of drowning in a water bubble in a microgravity enviornment
I never thought about this before. But you could absolutely drown in a huge water bubble surrounding your head in space.
In space you’ll even die in your sleep because off the bubble of exhaled air/CO2 - ventilation is mandatory, else you gonna suffocate
Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano Nearly died this way
Wat.
Edit: oh dang.

What would win, a little bubble of water stuck to my face or one sucky boy lip motion

It almost happened to someone doing a spacewalk, but thankfully he lived. A coolant line burst or something, and started filling the helmet with water
