Default Re: Why is Space a Vacuum

According to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

"If you hold a lungful of air, you can survive in the total vacuum of space for about thirty seconds. However, with space being the mind-boggling size it is the chances of getting picked up by another ship wihin those thirty seconds are two to the power of two hundred and seventy-six thousand, seven hundred and nine to one against."

Long term a body in a vacuum would be desicated, that's why food is often vacuum packed. But it doesn't happen that fast, certainly not as fast as you are going to asphyxiate anyway.
Does this mean I have to rewrite this?

Btw, is it possible to give new Ability for Storm 1,2,3 system, e.g. "Planet - Change Organics Value" or a kind of this?
Hey, it is nice to see some one here who has a System Shock Avatar. Great games.

As for abilities, that would be something to ask fyron.
