What would it feel like to be jettisoned from a spaceship; to die in outer space?

He'll get banged around by inertial forces. Every time the ship moves left, he gets thrown to the right, etc. Also, whichever direction the ship accelerates in will seem like up. I imagine he'd be bruised, disoriented, and maybe nauseated.

I think about the equivalent of a death star.

you would slowly melt in a horrible flaming death. but no, gravity would push you back down for ANOTHER horrible flaming death. yay.

Your body would be pulled in every direction, though not really "exploding", that's a pretty good approximation of what would happen. If that didn't happen & you had oxygen, you would freeze to death. Or you would die from radiation(which is what would happen with the spacesuit, making the moon landing a farce).\n\nSpace kills, man.

You would go until you died of course. Assuming you'd never die, you'd never stop travelling in that spaceship. That's what infinity means. It's hard to grasp that idea, but space never ends...

wow...in 1968 i watched what appeared to be a shiny metallic piece of  crumpled metal tumble towards earth for 10 minutes, it was probably space debris or toilet ejecta from a passing airliner.what you seen was likely hardboard insulation like they use on construction sites, that stuff will fly a long ways with little wind....or else it was a runaway magic carpet

Depends on your momentum when you do so.\n\nIf you're utterly still and blow out air in space, you will move backwards.\n\nWell, your frozen corpse will...

To be free enough of pain to be able to swim again...I miss the feel of water moving over my body while I experience the closest thing to weightlessness I will ever get to feel. I haven't been able to swim, or even sit in a bathtub for almost 20 years...

It would initially knock you unconscious. When you came to, you would have a feeling of nausea and you would also feel cold and hot at the same time. There may be areas of your body that are numb and others that are hypersensitive to all external and internal stimuli. Your vision may be impaired and your short term memory will be effected in some way or another. You'd be shaky and disoriented, dehydrated, and clammy.  Over all it wouldn't be a good feeling.

The first part will be the conclusion of your biological life. If the cause of your death involved pain, the five minutes that it takes for your brain to stop functioning will be like... Hell.  {When you dream, it really only takes a second or two for your higher brain to live the whole story.}  When you have five minutes in that realm, anything that was happening to your body will likely be amplified, and horrific dreams will spin around that experience.  The worst part is that you will have gone into it with the realization that you are dying, and the dark side of your brain will "have fun" with those matters.\n\nAfter your biological death, there will be a long rest. You will not be aware of much of anything but no further harm will come to you.\nThen there will be an awakening, you will be given a new -perfect body. You will be shown everything that you have done and how it affected everyone else. These things will be measured against perfection. You will be asked a question. After that, there will either be eternal pain, suffering, and a suffocating lonliness, or eternal peace and happiness in paradise with a number of other people.\n- There, a religious-free explanation of what will happen.-\n- But then, anyones answer to this question will be based on some element of faith because no-one comes back from the total experience-

Since its a manned flight, the space craft being heavier, it would take at least eight months or more. However, like correctly pointed out by Christoph... N, it would be a very painful ride for the space passenger. The radiations and the athropy of the muscles & bones would cause a lot of discomfort.

Nothing really would happen.\nThe side of the astronaut facing the sun would be extremely hot, the side facing away from the sun would be very cold, probably even frozen.\nThe astronaut's body would be hit by small bits of flying rock and space dust.

Yes, but at a much slower rate than humans that are stationary or travelling much more slowly (i.e. life here on earth).\n\nSo if a human being went on a trip to the next star at the speed of light and returned to earth, it will feel to him as if he's gone forward in time by hundreds or thousands of years.

That would completely Suck without a doubt !\n\nIt sounds like something that supposedly happened to a few navy personal in an experiment called  " Project Rainbow ": otherwise known as " The Philadelphia Experiment ". \n\nListen to how a supposed surviver describes this ordeal:  Warning the content is graphic in nature.\n \n"When we switched the generators to full power,  it  had  created a strong  electromagnetic  field, which totally overcame and engulfed us within a heavy fog or a mist. It was at this precise  moment that  I  sensed myself being shook  violently  from a strong vibration and at the same time I noted the ship disappearing from around and below me. With a generator to  my back,  all of a sudden as if in slow motion, I felt a tremendous impact  in  which I sensed my entire  body being  propelled outwards  into hundreds of fragmented pieces. With this impact, there  was a brilliant flash of light, so intense it was  not only blinding, but consuming; the piercing sound forced me to the ship’s deck covering my ears with my hands in a desperate  attempt to relieve the pain. Now bleeding from my mouth, nose and ears, nothing seemed to help the discomfort  that   I was experiencing,  leaving me with  the one  and only thought  I repeatedly recall saying to myself — “I wished I  were dead”!"\n\n "Twenty-seven of the 40 were men embedded within the structure of the ship, but who were not in all cases dead. Mercifully some were shot in the head using a standard military pistol, yet others were kept alive long enough for laboratory research." \n\nSee web page for the complete story:

Moleman gave a great answer... however I will add something that I think you are looking for... stragely worded question by the way! lol\n\nAnyway, I think you are asking what would happen if you jumped in a  spaceship and headed out for the end of the universe. Now obviously we are talking such huge distances that it isn't possible, even in Star Trek. However, if you did try, the current theory is that eventually you would end up back where you started. Imagine the universe is spread over a basketball. Eventually, if you keep heading in a forward direction, you would mearly end up back where you started.\nHope that helps!
