"Please, tell me... Is outer space hot, or cold? In the movie: "Apollo 13" the scene portrayed was inside the space capsule, and the CO2 scrubber wasn't working. The air inside the capsule became cold and the viewer (the audience in the theater) was able to see the frost in the astronaut's breath. But, whenever I've seen scenes in other movies where the actors are enclosed in a tight room and the air is being depleted, the scene portrayed is that the room-air gets warmer, not colder. The actors are portrayed as getting very hot and sweaty in an enclosed room that is lacking in ventilation. So...why the descrepency in the two Hollywood scenes? My concern is that the capsule, while in outer space, is essentially an enclosed room, and a very small one, at that. Please, don't suggest that the astronaut's body heat escaped out of the capsule. the way heat leaves a dwelling in someone's home. That would suggest a leak which would have been life-threatening beyond the point of a leaky oxygen tank and debunked CO2 scrubber. The capsule was so designed to keep artificial atmosphere inside. Any leak would have killed them all instantly much the way a person is sucked out the window of a 747 flying at 30,000 feet. I found this to be very perplexing, when I saw the movie. - Tom "  SELECT
