Asphyxiation is 10-15 seconds in the vacuum of space. The others are significantly longer.

Just saying.

Hypothermia is supposed to be nice once you get past the shivering. You feel warm (even kinda hot), the fall asleep and don’t wake up.

Asphyxia would be so quick though, but I’m not sure how blood boiling in zero atmosphere would feel.

Don't forget the massive shockwave from the exploding planet

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Via what medium

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You don't think the billions of tons of rock are going to spread out? :p

Seriously though, we see shockwaves from exploding stars affecting the material around them. I don't know the mechanics of what is causing it or how it spreads, but it does.

I think they would maintain their orbital path or be moved in the direction of the impact (obviously a mix)

But that's a debris field, not a shock wave

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well the moon was formed by an impact of similar proportions so the debris field is making it to the moon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Interestingly, probably not! When the moon formed it was MUCH closer to earth. The moon is ever so slowly moving away from the planet, bit by bit. So a fresh debris field from a sufficiently similar impact wouldn't reach as far as the moon is today
