Oddly, space is cold but spaceships tend to get too hot. Engines/electroncs/people give off heat inside the ship which gets trapped. You move heat by conduction, convection, or radiation, but because outside is a vacuum you cant disapate heat with the first 2 and are limited to the least effective radiation so the heat builds up
Yeah, a little known fun fact about the Shuttle is that the radiators were on the inside of the bay doors. On achieving orbit they had 4 hours to get the doors open or they would have to scrub the mission before the electronics overheated. The doors never failed and no mission was ever scrubbed for this reason though.
I didn’t know this! It’s very interesting
Yep, you’re basically surrounded by a perfect insulator.
I realised this reading The Expanse. I just didn’t think about it enough until then. “Just let the heat out into space duh” doesn’t make any sense unless you’re venting something with it.
I don’t like space, it’s cold and it get’s everywhere.
It’s okay buddy, you’ll be plenty warm soon enough.
You think I can afford a billion dollar spaceship by wasting money on heating? No I burn Children I pick up on desert planets on Mustafa to smelt ore, that’s how you save money.
I wonder how cold space would actually feel, given there is not much matter to transfer the body heat to. Here’s a stack exchange thread where people try to calculate how long it would take to cool down.

i find it kind of creepy that this meme makes a joke of strangulation.
Much of what Darth Vader is into is creepy.
The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
Oh man. Don’t watch the movies. It practically glorifies it.
