A hypothetical situation that has bugged me recently: A small spacecraft full of air at 1:1 compression ratio with that of Earth's atmosphere suspended within a bubble of the vacuum of space appear instantly in our atmosphere. When the air rushes in to fill the void, is the craft lost from the change in pressure? Would the craft survive if it was contained within a bubble of atmosphere, and suddenly appeared in a vacuum, or would the sudden decompression rip it apart?
