Hey guys,
A friend and I were wondering what would happen if you were trapped inside a spacecraft with no power to run any life support systems such as heating/cooling. Assume there is plenty of usable air.
Would the spacecraft interior get hotter due to warmth generated by the human bodies because the heat does not transfer to the vacuum of space very well (via the craft walls)? Or would it get colder?
Would it matter how well insulated the craft is? I imagine whether the sun is shining on you would make a fair difference.
Thoughts?
Cheers
