  • I think an additional effect is that, the drop in pressure causes any liquids exposed to it to vaporise, which is an exothermic process, and it’s a race to see whether it boils off entirely or the inner part freezes to solid from the drop in temperature through conduction. So the immediate surface of your body would either dry out or flash freeze but the inner part take a while to solidify.

    Why there is any ice in space and it doesn’t just sublimate away over time I’m not sure.
