You Don’t Explode in Space so relax and enjoy your life

A perennial topic of conversation when watching certain sci-fi films or series with my lads (recent example was in Dr Who when River Song): would our blood pressure cause us to explode? Would we instantly freeze? Or what? Well, apparently, NASA have answered the question:
You Don’t Explode in Space - Acts of Volition: "According to NASA, a human (or animal) exposed to the vacuum of space without any protection would not explode, or implode, or boil, or turn into a super-hero. Rather, you'd eventually die from the lack of oxygen. If you get back inside quick enough, you could survive unharmed."

The presenting question and answer is at ask a physicist. A site, perhaps, to bookmark for future use for sci-fi watching.
