You actually could have a couple seconds in the hard vacuum of space before you pass out. I've even heard it's more hypoxia that you would die from in space and you should be able to be revived if the exposure was less than a minute or something.

Mars should be less deadly, as long as the sun isn't visible. (No magnetosphere = deadly solar radiation)

The solar radiation is a long term problem, like not having food. Having no air is a tiny bit more of a "right now" problem.

Solving Long Term Problems, part 4d:

Take off your helmet, eat some ~~moon~~ mars rocks. Have your crewmates revive you and put your helmet back on. Chew, swalloe.

We don't know what happens after that but you might be OK. If you are hungry enough to eat a planet, you're hungry enough for science.
