- chongli 2y agoSpace is a fantastic insulator. Space suits for astronauts have to be cooled, not heated.
- syntaxing 2y agoI think it’s more appropriate to say conduction and convection doesn’t work well. When you have a suit, it’s meant to block radiation and that’s the mode of heat transfer in space. If space was a fantastic insulator, the suit itself would eventually overheat since you have to remove the heat somehow (they boil off water in vacuum similar to sweat).
