Landed 5000 LY away from bubble to take this screenshot

Eh, I feel like you could manage 5000ly in 1 minute 30 seconds if you really tried.
Even if you find a wormhole to a nearby outpost the landing pads will all be blocked ;-)
No amount of synthesis jump range boost is going to fix that...... Man, I feel for you...
I think Calaban meant the AFMU refill synth.
With 2.0, I've only tried to repair a cracked canopy... successfully... but haven't tried a totally blown out one.
During landing managed to break the canopy ...

Oh well, I will get to Sagittarius next time

Have some rep for the rare image
On a side note. It would be interesting to know whether any fuel rats would be up for a long excursion. Certainly you have enough oxygen to re-enter orbit (just). If there could be an Anaconda waiting it might just be enough.

Thanks for condolences!
No, I did not land window-first
I had 7 minutes to realize I had 2 AFMU units but they did not work on blown canopy. Apparently only cracked canopy can be fixed and that really does make sense.
And I did not take SRV as it was making my jumps shorter.
In retrospect, that might have allowed me to return, as I have seen from other CMDRs reports that hoping into SRV and sending ship onto orbit and back resets oxygen time countdown.
Even then it would be slim chance of getting back as that would give me 7 minutes every time - might not be enough to get to next system with 'land-able' planets as sometimes I have jumped several systems before encountering any suitable planet to land.
Lesson learned - must ... resist ... landing ... on ... high ... G ... planets. (or learn to do it properly)

Some sticky tape?
There is sand out there! Quick! Melt it and patch it onto your canopy!
Never did understand how a 747 can have oxygen masks tied to a centralized respiration system....
..but a ship in ED doesn't have a single port connecting a mask to the oxygen system.
Or utilizing ED emergency mask technology, creating a film mask that replaces a broken canopy window when it breaks / shatters. There should be plenty of fail safes to prevent death or allow the continued production of oxygen from the ship.
Seems like a weak fail-state mechanic to me.

We have all of those things. That's what RemLok is.
Your helmet and suit provide you with emergency environmental conditions, not just oxygen. You are in the vacuum of space. You need heating, pressure, cooling, and something to breathe.
There is only a limited availability of resources so that's why there's a timer. If you pay for more resources you get a longer time.
Can't have a film over a broken canopy for the same reason, but even more so, that we don't fix the windows on jet aircraft with clingfilm.
*cough* By the way, a 747 doesn't have a centralised oxygen generator, but an individual one. Each passenger has it's own chemical reactor.
