'Cause I was just thinking about the effects of sudden exposure to vacuum, and was wondering if you could confirm something for me. If not you, I expect one of your colleagues, yes?
So here's my question: Once exposed to vacuum your blood boils, right? So rather than cold, the sensation would be one of heat, wouldn't it?
Before you suffocate to death, that is.

I work in the digital imaging (photo) lab at JSC. And I'm rather isolated and my few colleagues do not work with micropressure environments. We do have a HUGE vacuum chamber (but not NASA's largest) here on site, but I've never even been to see it in person.
That said, I found a great source for you.
It surprised me to learn that your blood doesn't actually boil. (Your internal blood pressure is sufficient to prevent that.) And you will only feel slightly cool as surface and near surface liquids evaporate. (Vacuum has no temperature as such, it's a great insulator.)
Your body will expand to "perhaps twice its normal volume unless it is restrained by a pressure suit". 
This article is quite fascinating. Share & Enjoy
