    A vacuum is a great insulator, though. It may well cool slowly enough to go dormant and eventually vitrify, if it’s something cold-adapted.

        Well, yes, if it loses a ton of water it will get cold and freeze. OP suggested water loss would be fairly manageable, though. I guess the question is just how much it would lose, exactly.

        I guess it’s also worth noting we’re assuming deep space here. OP didn’t specify, if you’re right next to a star you have the opposite problem.
