Did you know that if you were ejected into interstellar space without a spacesuit you would not explode? Aside from not having any Oxygen your body would radiate about 10,000 calories a day from Blackbody radiation. If you were somehow able to eat, say prime rib, I think this rate of energy loss would be surmountable.
When they say that the temperature on the Moon during the day is 180F and at night is -200F, what exactly do they mean? As there is no air. Do they mean the surface temperature varies by that amount? Well, that's certainly a different matter than the air temperature. If they mean that the 10 molecules in the moon's atmosphere have that temperature, that doesn't matter either. I guess it's just a way to be sensational by appealing to the senses.
