Because this is FUCKING AMAZING.

There has never been any other incident of a man exposed to absolute vacuum.

No medical data. This is unique.

The ending is wrong. This happened to some Russians in the 1960's in space when they were nearly about to start landing.

If you heat the water for a longer period of time after the boiling point, it wouldn't get any warmer, so you're not going to kill any bacteria which are resistant to the boiling point.
