The pressure difference would first boil your blood and then kill you in some extremely unpleasant way.

Since Mars at least have an atmosphere and gravity stronger than the moon, I think NASA should make spacesuits less bulky and more comfortable so that we can colonize Mars in the near future. With all that toxic gas, radiation and shit we can only stay indoors most of the time. Who wants to play football on Mars?
[QUOTE=smurfy;17862626]I believe the lack of pressure makes you explode or something, but that could quite possibly just be an urban legend.[/QUOTE] It's not an urban legend, since our atmospheric pressure pushes on our bodies, we're built to withstand it, but with no pressure, our bodies are pushing out with nothing to push back, so they just kind of explode..
yes I knew the pressure was less on mars than on earth thats clear just not how much, theres evidence that some of it is still being sweaped away by solar wind. the atmosphere will still burn up most metores by the way, so you're only slity more likely to be hit on mars an on earth (mainly because of surface area of mars). Test have shown that there arn't enough cosmic rays to course harm to humans.

mars has a much smaller surface area than earth
Vacuums make all your fluids leave through any avaliable orrifice not make you explode, some science program on when Beagle 2 was being launched put a toy doll filled with pink goo in a vacuum and turned it on.
Could someone convert those pressure into Psi I use the Imperial system.
If your so clever, do you want to risk it?
OP has bad spelling problems.. how old is he?
