I learned from an episode of QI that astronauts can talk to each other in outer space if they touch helmets

Two cups and a bit of string would probably do if they shouted

noone can hear you shout in space
it's got to do with vibrations at close proximity. science is fun!

Yeah, so cups against the helmets, and string pulled tight
and shout to compensate for the lossy transmission
