You need to read up on the temperatures involved. Space is near
absolute zero.


I read less than an hour ago that the interstellar medium has latent
temperatures of up to 100K. For a 'vacuum' it has a lot of stuff floating
around in it, too.


That is for energetic stuff floating around in some particular place.

If you were causght in a CME it would be a lot hotter than that, but
again that is stuff.

The background temperature of space is 2.7 K.
