@nyrath here's a thing that might be of interest... https://pervocracy.com/pdf-hobby/the-pdf-hobby-and-death-in-space/

You've got some or more of the details on projectrho already, of course, but I feel that the particularly splendid line, "Many gaseous products of decomposition have a higher vapor pressure than the gasses the [space] suits are designed to contain, may not actually be sufficient to the task" deserves repeating, what with the inevitable consequences that problem entails...

@rook @nyrath Is this a technical way of saying "enough decay can generate enough gas pressure to pop the suit"?

@60sRefugee @nyrath first it’ll pressurise so the arms and legs will stick out. The sorts of suits they’re thinking of aren’t stretchy so they won’t inflate like a balloon, though. Then one of the seams will fail, and you’ll briefly get the solar system’s most gristly rocket. The suit will still be largely intact though, I suspect.
