Space is cold - 4 K. Superconductors.

Repeating the word "superconductor" does not convince anyone of anything.

  • I don’t care about convincing anyone. A question was asked and I answered the best I could with the time I had at hand.

    Also read by comment above that discusses WHY superconductors could be the key to cooler electronics in space.

Space is not cold. Space is not hot either. Temperature is a property of matter. Empty space does not have a temperature. It is also a perfect insulator for conduction and convection, and as for radiation: it's a problem because of the sun heating up objects via its radiation.

This is the basics, I'm not an expert. But I don't think that you have anything useful at all to say here.
