Also its not true that space is "very very cold".

If you are in space wearing space suite that doesn't radiate heat properly, you could die from the excessive heat. Once dead your body stops producing heat and the existing heat eventually radiate away and your body freeze.

Space is neither hot or cold because these are property of matter. Since space has very little atoms, it technically has no temperature.
