Oh no the astronaut forgot to dress the chicken in a space suit?

It won't explode. It will live for up to a minute or so, eventually dieing from suffocation. It may also encounter a case of the "bends" (nitrogen boiling out of its blood, causing bubbles in the blood vessels)

"That Guy" is correct--the chicken won't explode. It will lose consciousness and die within minutes, and may start to experience a severe case of the bends in the meantime. Also some capillaries close to the skin might burst, but that's the least of its problems.

yaar let first humans go to space why u want animals in space it i soo much risky for even human to stay thr and waise bhi u knw in india thr r many animal rites wale looche so better not to try this till it is much safer.

It will suffocate in a vacuum outside the ship.

Well, he would turn into chicken nuggets! :)

Then I'd eat them all and not share.

Except with you.

We'll eat chicken nuggets on the moon :D

May be he had other ideas..Not to waste his non-veg food by taking it to space and wait till it die there..

it will never stop moving if u throw it (unless it hits something), wont make any sound, and unless it has oxygen it will die, or sufficate to be precise

it could explode from the preasure but most likeley freeze

it will die ovbisliy get your brain checked if your that dumb
