[GotG] How does Star-Lord's mask protect his entire body from vacuum?

He seems to fly through vacuum with exposed skin that never suffers the effects of vacuum as long as he's wearing the mask on his face.

Brief exposure to vacuum isn't going to kill you. Unless you're in direct sunlight. That'll kill you.

In fact, your death from being exposed to space [as long as you're out of direct sunlight] wouldn't come in the form of freezing, or decompression, but from asphyxiation. The air in your lungs would be forced out almost immediately, and from that point forward you'd have until your body needs more oxygen to get from A to B.

So if Starlord has a helmet on [and isn't in direct sunlight] he could move around for a minute or two without lasting damage. Frostbite for sure though.
