May I ask why Homelander has Space Survival mode when it's only described as viewing New York from space? Because as far as I know, achieving Space Survival mode requires a very long time.

No, it really doesn't. A normal human would lose consciousness after about 10-15 seconds in space, and it'll only take 1-2 minutes for someone to surely die.

As far as I know, characters who can breathe in space for short periods only achieve self-sustaining type 1. Like Saitama.

What do you mean "short periods"? Self-Sustenance by its definition is the ability to survive indefinitely. As for why Saitama doesn't have Space Survival, it's simply redundant. He already has every ability he would need to survive in space.

I mainly saw on the Space Survival page that it mentioned long-term survival, so I thought it would take a long time to meet the requirement, but it seems that's not the case.

Long term does mean they can survive for a long time, but the requirement is pretty easy to meet because anyone who doesn't have Space Survival would pass out and start dying very quickly. If Homelander can travel to space and take his time to observe New York, odds are he has Space Survival.

Furthermore, it can travel through space for a considerable amount of time and distance in order to escape up the virus.
