As an elementary school librarian I would like to say I have this question 
from a student, but my husband asked me to look it up.  (He's been watching 
to much Discovery Channel)  He wants to know if a human body, outside of a 
space suit, would disinegrate, decay, or evaportate.  I've been looking but 
am not coming up with anything.  I just stumbled on to your site so am a 
first time user.  Any help would be appreciated.
