*It is well known that space is not a safe place. Without a source of breathable air you will quickly pass out before you can accomplish anything. If you see someone passed out in a de-pressurized zone you should make it a priority to drag them somewhere safer and give them some [[Salbutamol]] to treat oxygen deprivation.
*It is well known that space is not a safe place. Without a source of breathable air you will quickly pass out before you can accomplish anything, so [[Starter_guide#Clothing_and_Internals|set up internals]].

*Space is cold. [[Temperature#My_nipples_are_hard_just_thinking_about_it|REALLY FUCKING COLD]]. Your jumpsuit is not enough to safeguard you from this hazard and you will eventually become [[Critical_status|critical]] if you spend too much time outside. While freezing, you move at a snail's pace and you might not be able to get to safety in time. It might be a good idea to announce your situation over the radio and have someone come get you if you're not sure you'll make it. [[Leporazine]] is the drug of choice for keeping you warm, but coffee or tea help somewhat. [[Morphine]] is also an excellent choice for aspiring astronauts as it helps you move in bulky space suits and reduces the slowing effects of the cold.

*Low pressure is your first sign that the air is too thin to breathe. The low pressure of space will deal brute damage if your body is exposed to it.
