that scene of about 15 secs in a hard vacuum was clarke's personal signature
on 2001.  he wrote a story in which a space station worker leaps to safety
through a few feet of hard vacuum and suffers only a bad sunburn from the
experience.  certainly others will follow up with the title.  obviously,
most of the story is devoted to this guy's thoughts about whether such a leap
is survivable, & the conclusion that it would take a good minute to boil.
