​Have you ever wondered what you would do if you were an astronaut, flew into space and died there? Please, this is not quite the right question. And even better, what would others do to you, because you have nothing to say anyway? When it comes to ways to roll your eyes in space, I’m relentless, don’t worry!

You can get burned, you can freeze, you can run out of oxygen, you can drown in your own suit, you can blow up like a fish in that balloon because of the pressure, a stationary meteorite can pass through you and. .. as I said, by choice, by any preference. Well, let’s get back to today’s question, namely: what could your colleagues do with you so that you don’t spoil the atmosphere there?

It’s good to know that NASA (and beyond) has also considered this possibility. And for this we offer you interesting information. For example, when you’re in a dead spacesuit, you start making fun of yourself pretty quickly, which won’t go down well with your colleagues on the rocket or on the space station. In addition, it is not hygienic. In this case, rushing into space, as sailors once rushed into the sea, is not an option. No one wants you to turn into a projectile and ram your head into some satellite or who knows what high-performance spacecraft. Once you’ve done pocinog, you’re messing things up there too. You be damned!

Let’s not even mention the situation where you’re thinking of landing on some pristine, unspoiled planet. Well, do you understand what you’re doing there? You destroy the place, dust off further research, galactic scandal, etc. Seriously, aren’t you better off staying at home? That’s why NASA has a rule that prohibits such trains. Please, there would also be a hypothetical option of cremation. But since there are no such devices on spaceships yet, and using a flamethrower in open space is not the smartest idea, we choose other options.

If you’re on SSI or any ship, it’s best to keep you in your spacesuit and keep you in the coldest tub. At the next opportunity, they will take you home. They are sending a ship to get you out of there, don’t worry! The question changes in the situation when you are on a long road. Suppose you fly to Mars. It takes about six months to get there, and the living space is nothing like the spaceship Enterprise either. Here comes the really interesting part. Experts say you could be placed in a special bag and then removed from the spacecraft using a robotic arm.

At about -270 degrees Celsius, everything will be fine. This is obviously if you are on the side of the ship that is not facing the sun. Then the hand in question gives you a good shake for a quarter of an hour until you’re reduced to powder. Returning to the side of the sun, the water evaporates through special ventilation, and you are left with about 25 kg of a fine substance similar to sea sand.

This is how you last until you return to Earth. They will return you to the shuttle so you don’t burn up prematurely upon re-entry. Thus, you simply became part of the cosmos. Your dream! You needed space, you found a place. In addition, from what is left of you, you can make a trinket or something like that, très jolie, so that the world remains with a pleasant memory of you.

The last version, the one where you beat Mars because it was about her. It would be appropriate to be cremated so as not to contaminate this place with earthly microbes. If it doesn’t have anyone to take care of it, bad luck, but the bacteria in your body will get to work. They will not go far, because at such temperatures they also freeze. So you will turn into a mummy.

One that gradually, over time, decomposes under the influence of radiation. In any case, you can be happy, you will remain there in fossil form, millions or even tens of millions of years, something like brontosaurus. If you’re lucky, you’ll be the subject of study for future intelligent species that visit our solar system and stumble upon you where you least expect it.

It was. Now you know!
