Ramon froze pretty quickly out there in space. Wasn’t it only a couple of weeks ago this show was trying to convince us people could survive in space without a suit for two whole minutes?

He was extra warm too before getting to empty space. Larger differential in temperature.

Yeah star trek right now really can’t seem to decide whether “space is cold” or not.

Of course, that’s because the truth has just alittle bit of nuance to it, and nuance is hard for writers.
Space can be cold, depending on where you are, but its also barely even there. No atmosphere means no convection, and that means you’re gonna be losing heat much too slowly for it to be your number one problem if you’ve just been spaced without a suit.

Maybe because they’re in the stellar nursery. The deuterium was like having an atmosphere.

Convective heat transfer in a cold dense gaseous nebula would be a lot faster than radiative heat transfer in empty space.
