How long could you survive in a vacuum?

According to this article, only 30 to 40 seconds. Maybe up to a minute, if conditions were just right and medical care was standing by (though you'd lose consciousness much before that). It's not just the lack of oxygen, since you can hold your breath longer than that, but you need air pressure, too.

I just thought it was interesting.
