but I still don't have an answer to my question.



Now ya do. Perhaps. Let me 'splain. Some space stations spin at around 60 RPM creating a sense of gravity within the ship. Now if ole' Clooney is released from a spinning hull, he's "slung" outward by centrifugal force out into the deep, cold, nebulous void of infinite space.

A tumbling frozen corpse, until one day he enters a gravitational field of a planet and he's vaporized into his proprietary atomic elements. And the people gaze in wide wonder at the shooting star.
