How Did Laci Survive Outer Space?

Superman and Nuclear Man get a pass because they are superhuman,but how in the world did Laci survive flying into outer space with Nuclear Man when he kidnapped her near end of movie without dying instantly? Last time I checked outer space is a vacuum meaning there is no air, no human could survive without a space suit. Could someone explain this to me?

In the comic adaptation of the film she is in a space suit (apparently Nuclear Man had time to pick one up)

WTF was that

I'm guessing that it was another special effects goof! The background plate was suppose to simply represent the skies over Metropolis, not literally outer-space!

That's probably the best "explanation" to why we see this. I remember as a kid this scene made me think you can breathe in space.

While she's in contact with superman/nuke man she can.

If this is true, then why did she start falling? In space. As opposed to floating.

I can forgive this plot hole because it was the only one in the movie

Did she survive tho? (we don't actually see her again after Superman grabbed her from Nuclear Man)
