Do you think the Princess' can survive in space?

[Azureth 686]

I don't count Luna being trapped on the moon since she could've easily been in some kind of suspended animation.

[JetPistol 32]

I think it's realistic for the Princesses to use their magic to form an oxygen bubble around themselves thereby facilitating extended survivability in space... maybe for like an hour at maximum though, lol.

Might I ask what prompted the inquiry, OP? Are you perhaps fantasizing about DBZ-esque space battles in the Season 9 finale? If so, I can completely relate. ^^;

[Jedishy 3,542]

Well considering the bubble deal would trap air that would make short term possible. But magic in the MLP universe tends to be whatever it needs to be if you just find the right spell I am pretty sure there would just be a "breath in space' spell that they know. 

[OdellaLark 185]

Well maybe. Could be a spell for that like mentioned in the above post. Maybe they could breathe in space for a bit before they need the spell or maybe they just need the spell in general. Who knows.

They seem to be immortal, or at least nearly immortal. I’d imagine they’d survive anywhere.

[Partialgeek514 4,920]

I'd assume they'd have to use magic to protect themselves from the elements (or lack thereof) out there. Pinkie might survive though, but she's Pinkie. There's no way to explain her abilities. 

[EpicEnergy 22,074]

I think anypony that can cast advanced spells could survive in space, all they have to do is cast the right spells and there are probably ones in the Canterlot Archives that would work.

[Here No Longer 5,270]

Most ponies with advanced enough magic could easily survive in space if they cast a spell creating an air bubble around them. Which wouldn't really be much of anything to ask for the princesses or magically inclined unicorns.

[Justin_Case001 4,855]

Oh, totally.  If Kal and Zod can, then I'm sure any sufficiently powerful alicorn/unicorn is EVA ready.

[Sepul-Coloratura 756]

According to Disney, all princesses can survive in space.

[Nsxile 25,669]

Well... Luna most definitely can, considering she was stuck on the moon for 1000 years. Also I doubt she was in suspended animation, as it stated in Predictions & Prophecies: "on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape."

[Totally Nyx 35,497]

I'm sure there's some spell that can let any pony survive in space, but are we saying without anything to shield them from the space? No air, no "breathe in space" spell, nothing easing the cold or the lack of pressure outside their body? That depends when in the series we're pulling the princesses from.  If this were season 1 and they were still essentially immortal goddesses, I'd say they'd easily survive in space. But as the show's gone on and degraded the princesses to the point that they'd struggle to beat even Sweetie Belle in a duel, I don't think season 9 Celestia or Luna stands a chance in space.

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

I dunno...I'm pretty sure Luna is the only one who can. 

[Venomous 18,813]

I think that they could survive in space by magically producing an aura around their heads that allows them to breathe. Although, that wouldn’t do much good because they would still have to eat and drink water...

[Partialgeek514 4,920]

Yeah, come to think of it, Luna survived in space for a thousand years! 

[Cash In 21,509]

I mean, they're kind of known for their magical abilities, so I feel like they'd find some way to survive.

A force field spell would do the trick! Twilight and her brother can both produce them. It would just take a little magical tinkering to ensure they hold atmosphere.

 

Princesses In Space!

(better then pigs, any day!)

[Splashee 28,537]

I always believed Equestria was as flat as Earth once was believed to be. So no space, just sky and pretty stars painted somewhere up there. But Pinkie had to go and ruin that in "Twilight's Seven". If it is enough for Pinkie to just put a bowl on her head and survive space, then Luna can easily do the same

In real life, the pressure would kill, and if not that, the radiation would, and eventually the missing oxygen (obviously).

[Xe__or 4,376]

I like to think not yet. As long as they don't show them do it, I'll stick with no  

[Quinch 1,119]

Luna might. She is the night, therefore she is Batman and Batman can breathe in space.

[Denim&Venöm 16,503]

If Twi can help she and her friends can survive underwater, then the Princesses can easily survive Space. 

NMM definitely did survive space. Watching the first episode from the time her visage vanished from the moon to the time she appeared on the balcony, that being 37 seconds and presuming the distance between the moon and MLPs Earth is the same, means that NMM traveled at 23,239,945 mph.  Or roughly mach 30,300. 

Or maybe she just cast a teleportation spell. That has an average range of 238,855 miles. Not sure which is more impressive.                                             

[Sparklefan1234 161,854]

Nightmare Moon/Princess Luna survived in space for one thousand years so, I would say "yes". 

[ChB 18,532]

@Totally Lyra @Sparklefan1234 Luna is the Bomb! She can do air bubble, body-warming, pressure-balancing, UV-protecting, anti-perspiration, hydration, and nutrition-supplying spells, all at the same time!

[MangoFoalix 24,898]

She's a giant magical horse. I really think she can do just about anything.
