The Borg vs. the Vogons. by hadji2007-04-06 00:30:24
  Question 'bout the Borg by UGuardian2007-04-06 02:37:08
    Does "space" have any temperature at all? by SciSSorS2007-04-06 03:21:55
      Final frontier and such by Focus 2007-04-06 07:36:17
Temperature is indeed a measure of particle energy, and as space is for all practical instances a vacuum, space has no temperature. So space is not at 0 K (<pedantic> it is Kelvin, not degrees Kelvin </pedantic>), but does not have a temperature at all.

So the only temperature loss in space is from radiation from the body (and that's a lot less than via particle contact), which could be offset by being in the presence of an external heat radiation source.

The only problems remaining would be oxygen (in space you will most likely die of aphyxiation), if Borg need oxygen at all, and body pressure.

Being part mechanical, the energy we need comes not from our intake of oxygen for use in a burning process, but from our inbuild generators. Also, as we do not need internal pressure to keep things like breathing going or blood pressure up, we can operate at all air pressures and in vacuum.
