An irritating Apollo 13 movie note: in the movie, once they power down, everything gets cold and wet “because there’s no heat.” Why this was allowed is beyond me - in truth, they’d roast by their own body heat. The vacuum of space is an INSULATOR.

They weren't in a vacuum... they were in a pressurized capsule with oxygen (and CO2) in it.

Which, in turn, was surrounded by a vacuum.

Bzzzzt. Next.
