I just read it for the first time, and I am commenting here so I can easily find this later and read it to my wife.

Those were the fun and informative posts reddit used to be known for. Don't see posts like that very often anymore.

I don't care if he played the system, I liked his posts.

To me, that post and going through each step like the OP did with the timeline was scary as fuck. Imagine sitting in that space suit, 25 minutes into the fall, completely dark, you're getting hotter and you are now SWIMMING in nitrogen. Holy fuck that is horrific.

If I'm in a fully pressurized space suit, I wouldn't get diver's sickness, no?
