What will happen if someone falls in space?

You would still die of course, but it would be by asphyxiation. Your blood holds enough oxygen for about 15 seconds of brain activity. After that you’d black out, with complete brain death following within three minutes.

Could someone survive a fall from space?

No there is absolutely no chance of surviving a fall from any maximum distance of space. By the time you fall to the altitude where Felix Baumgartner jumped from (39 km), you will already be travelling at over 1 km / second so over 3,600 kmh.

What if the earth just fell?

If the Earth’s gravity did just suddenly disappear we would no longer have a force keeping us on the ground. The Earth would keep spinning, as it does, but we would no longer move with it; instead we would move in a straight line, upwards.

What would happen if an astronaut died in outer space?

To be very blunt, the astronaut would die. Just while floating out into nothingness, the person would die of starvation or dehydration or boredom. Whichever hits the person first. Also, eventually their oxygen will get depleted.

What would happen if you got sucked into space without a spacesuit?

If you got sucked out of a space shuttle that was barreling through outer space and you weren’t wearing a spacesuit, you’d instantly feel all the air rush out of your lungs. There’s no pressure in space, so air expands and would painfully tear through the tissue of your lungs as this happened.

What would happen if you kicked and flailed in space?

You’d possibly be spinning. In space, no kicking and flailing can change your fate. And your fate could be horrible. At the right angle and velocity, you might even fall back into Earth’s atmosphere and burn up.

What would happen if you fell off a Space Shuttle?

NASA requires spacewalking astronauts to use tethers (and sometimes additional anchors). But should those fail, you’d float off according to whatever forces were acting on you when you broke loose. You’d definitely be weightless. You’d possibly be spinning. In space, no kicking and flailing can change your fate. And your fate could be horrible.
