Nah. Those tricks are for fighting cold temperatures on earth. None would
work<BR>> in outer space. The best ethylene glycol (car antifreeze) could do
would be<BR>> to stay liquid at -51C (at highly toxic levels, mind you). The
void is -273 C.</DIV></DIV>

space has no temperature. (Typically the interplanetary gases are very hot
in fact, but so dilute their temperature is irrelevant.) How hot or cold an
object in the vacuum gets depends largely on whether the sun is shining on
it. And since heat transfer is by radiation only (no conduction or
convection) it will be relatively slow. Probably inhumi spin so that an
equal amount of sunlight falls on every side.</DIV></DIV>

average temperature of an object in space should be a little lower than the
average temperature on a planetary surface, though, due to the absence of a
greenhouse effect.</DIV></DIV>
