    The Earth is actually warmer than an object in space would be due to the greenhouse effect. But even without the effect, a spherical blackbody human won’t freeze. Since humans aren’t spheres, you could probaby get one to partially freeze by pointing its head or feet at the Sun, minimizing the surface area it receives sunlight from. This is definitely something that needs experimental testing.

      If it’d get me to space, I’d happily volunteer!:)) With a sensor-laden space suit, of course, not looking to lose any toes:))
