@Gearbram - No, a human would certainly not "immediately explode" in a vacuum, though there would be a lot of damage down to the cellular level due to the effects of a vaccum and the hydrostatic pressure every cell in body exerts. People popping like balloons is a myth perpetrated by bad science in movies. A vacuum for an extended period is certain death, but odds are it would be due to suffocation rather than the lack of atmospheric pressure. If someone didn't need to breathe, the damage might accumulate to fatal levels before heat loss (which would happen but would be far slower than the "instant freeze" shown in those aforementioned "bad science" movies) does the trick though - probably from internal bleeding due to various ruptured organs and such... not a good way to go, I imagine, regardless of what does the trick.
