    Навскидку! Открытый космос и безвоздушное пространство?

    Так, по-моему, второе начинается где-то вблизи Земли, когда уже не хватает силы тяготения удерживать воздух рядом с планетой, а первое, на мой взгляд, где-то более далеко... Может, на околоземной орбите, где спутники летают... По-моему так (c)

    Open cosmos is a calque of the Russian expression. I don't think I have ever seen it in text written by native English speakers unless they are quoting a translation of a Russian work.

    Outer space is not very definite (at least in non-scientific usage). Sometimes it is used to refer to the space outside of the Earth atmosphere, sometimes to the space outside of the Solar system (also called "deep space").

    In what context would you use открытый космос?
    Hei, rett norsken min og du er død.
    I am a notourriouse misspeller. Be easy on me.
    Пожалуйста! Исправляйте мои глупые ошибки (но оставьте умные)!

    Космонавтам надоело сидеть в корабле, они сняли скафандры и вышли погулять в открытый космос.

    В таком контектсе open space тоже подходит.

    Astronautes worked in open space for eight hours straight.

    Космонавты проработали в открытом космосе восемь часов подряд.

    You were busy typing in Russian and English, while if you type in one language, it goes faster :P
