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]
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.
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…
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
