Does anyone know if anyone has ever died while in space? Also, I know that on cruise ships they have morgues on board because people die on cruises. I wonder if they have something like that just in case. Late night thoughts. --
Update: for anyone wondering just watched another video where the astronaut said they didnt really have any kind of training or protocol for if someone dies in space. But if some kind of serious thing happened, they have a rescue vehicle where they could get the person back to earth. So if someone were to die in space, they would probably just fly them back to earth. Not sure how I didnt think of that earlier lol.

Whoever compiled the Mars tweet may have mess up a bit - I haven't looked how things line up for Mars specifically, but generally you need a launch window to get there and a launch window to get back, and generally those are not back to back. So a roundtrip might spend 400 days travelling, but would probably need to stick around for a bit - possibly close to a year, like Scott said, but like I said I haven't looked at Mars specifically - UK's National Space Centre says there's a window every 2. 2 years for the most efficient way to transfer but Scott might be talking about different methods.

If you do die in space, your body will not decompose in the normal way, since there is no oxygen. If you were near a source of heat, your body would mummify; if you were not, it would freeze. If your body was sealed in a space suit, it would decompose, but only for as long as the oxygen lasted.

Hard to understand why dead body's decomposition should be faster in space even without oxygen and other microorganisms which definitely required for decomposition process. And also the temperature in space usually extreme cold, isn't it?

I believe you decompose faster in low gravity environments because there is less gravity to pull the fluids into different parts. High moisture stuff tends to decompose faster than drier materials.

Scott Kelly kinda gives me the feel of someone who really did not expect them to get to where they are today and are still surprised about it.

I think he realized in that moment that Space X and Space Force are going to have astronauts soon too.
