Mine too.

I think Jeremy's point is that although space is exceptionally cold, it is also a vacuum. Since there is no medium to conduct heat (like air or water do), an object in space cools much more slowly than one in an atmosphere or in liquid, despite the temperature. This has been pointed out to me, and I also must admit I am not much of a physical scientist. I would merely advise GMs to apply as little or as much science as they want in their own game.

Of course, after publishing the game a high school science teacher joined my group, and I have had to be much more rigorous with my explanations ever since.
