Q&A

Is there a way for a creature from earth to survive the vacuum of space for ten minutes?

+0
−0

I was wondering if there was a way for a creature to survive the vacuum of space for ten minutes with only a tank of oxygen and a mask to breathe the oxygen with. The creature comes from an Earth-like planet, and how this creature evolved is not covered in this question.

Question

What changes to biology are needed in order to survive the low temperature of space?

The creature is a larger creature. Factors like pressure and boiling blood do not seem to be important, at least according to this article.

UPDATE: There seems to be a bit of confusion about the environment the creature is in. The creature is wearing a mask like this one bloke down below.

The helmet

This mask/helmet provides oxygen, but other than the mask, the creature is wearing no other protection. How we keep the oxygen mask on and flowing into your lungs is not covered in the question.
