About to around 70 million miles, direct exposure is instantly lethal.
Direct exposure, sure. But did I say I wanted to go out there unprotected? I'd freeze before even being out in space, which would be kinda stupid considering I wanted to be burned :P At least with protection I'll go further than the moon, and will eventually burn/melt/whatever due to the sun, even if I starved by then
Oh yeah, you guys do know that freezing to death is nearly as painful as burning? Feeling your skin crack, your organs rupture, gah that sounds painful.
i would rather freeze to death because you become numb and you dont have as much pain as burning to death
Um no. You feel the pain for hours. Oh and when you're about to die you take your clothes off when you're freezing to death. :P Cops mistake you for a rape victim.
I don't know. I would probably go with freezing to death. I can only imagine that with freezing i can peacfully die in my sleep; as where with burning, I'd just be screaming and complianing about the pain and smell of burning flesh. I'd also have to ask if there is a time in which the death happen. I assume that buring takes about a minute, (I'm not being thrown into a volcano, am I?) where as freezing takes a couple of hours. Of course, after so much pain, my body along with everyone else's would eventually stop feeling the pain of the manner of the death. At that point, we would just be waiting there, WISHING for the death to come soon, no matter how.
The worst fear I have is to burn to death, P U. That must have been the ultimate fear tactic of the dark ages, to be burned at the stake?
I'll take freezing, it's quite (no screaming), almost painless (after the pins and needles stop) and no smell (except for the recovery people after I thaw out).
