What happens if an astronaut dies in space? This is the question that NASA has been juggling for years, a true ethical and logistical conundrum that requires a practical method that both respects the dead while removing the body from the spacecraft as soon as possible. See, deceased bodies are not something you want to be in close proximity to – they smell really bad, they are a hive of bacteria as they decompose, and it would be pretty scarring for astronauts to have to live alongside the corpse of their fallen friends.
At this point, you’re sitting here thinking: “why don’t they just expel the body into space?”. After all, throughout sci-fi movie history, opening the airlock and releasing the corpse into the abyss has been the go-to method. Except, due to the prevention of space junk and potential collisions with other orbiting spacecraft, UN law actually makes it illegal to dump corpses in space.
