   >In space nobody can hear you scream.   
      
   The acoustic waves really does not spread in space, because of their nature.   
   These waves are the case of trasmitting of impulses from one layer of   
   molecules of air (or atoms in atomic grid ) to the next one in direction of   
   spreading of the wave.   
   But when you perform the scream into electromagnetic waves, amplify and   
   transmit them it will be possible to "hear" the scream in very huge   
   distances in space...
