   Would anyone remember the scene in 2001: a space odyssey wherein David   
   Bowman has to basically bust his way back into the spaceship Discovery?   
      
   He's not wearing a helmet and he takes about 5 seconds before he starts   
   closing the powered door and flooding the room he's blown himself into   
   with oxygen.So basically he's in orbit above Jupiter,or thereabouts,for   
   at least 5 seconds without a helmet.   
      
   What I am wondering is this: wouldn't his head have been freeze dried   
   instantly? Or wouldn't the vacuum have done something horrible to it?   
      
   Thanks
