MODERATORS
Anybody else feel like the space battle was trying to mimic the Expanse style?
Unfortunately didnt seem to work as well. The Expanse puts a lot of detail and thought into combat, and the setting seems more fit for it somehow.
Actually the entire having to jump into space without a space suit was what reminded me of The Expanse more.
Its consequences didn't, though. When you jump into space unprotected, it's not the cold that will kill ya'. Vacuum is the best isolator after all. Water wouldn't condensate on you into frost crystals, it would instantly evaporate because in 0 Pascals the boiling point of water is far below normal body temperature.
What will kill you though, is hypoxia. Also, lung damage if you get blown out into vacuum without warning. Though a: it's still survivable even with 20th century medical attention, and b: given that these were two medical professionals who are working on a spaceship and they knew it was about to happen, they probably knew how to minimize the damage. But the hypoxia is still there.
