    Does it feel like that? I know some bits of space are super hot but there’s not enough stuff there to get that energy to a person suspended in it. I guess being right next to the ISS might do it.

      I would assume so? The material would get hot through solar radiation and probably not radiate much heat off itself while receiving radiation. There’s no fluid medium in space for convection, so conduction would be the main mode of heat transfer for a person.
