Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Is there not some scientific thing where a human can remain conscious for 10-30 seconds when exposed on Mars unlike the moon/space which is just an instant death? I think he'd have time to get back into the ship
You actually could have a couple seconds in the hard vacuum of space before you pass out. I've even heard it's more hypoxia that you would die from in space and you should be able to be revived if the exposure was less than a minute or something.
Mars should be less deadly, as long as the sun isn't visible. (No magnetosphere = deadly solar radiation)
The solar radiation is a long term problem, like not having food. Having no air is a tiny bit more of a "right now" problem.
Solving Long Term Problems, part 4d:
Take off your helmet, eat some ~~moon~~ mars rocks. Have your crewmates revive you and put your helmet back on. Chew, swalloe.
We don't know what happens after that but you might be OK. If you are hungry enough to eat a planet, you're hungry enough for science.
