I think you are confusing need with practicality. There is nothing to

I believe there are rather cold temperatures in space. A
superconducting antenna could be used there with *no* supporting
"apparatus".


You don't need to go to outer space to see cryogenic radios in
operation.


You can see space a lot better with a cryogenic radio.
