After the alien is blown into space…

Eventually it's going to fall into the gravity well of a star or hit something. The Queen in Aliens was blasted out of the airlock and was last seen falling down. If the blast was strong enough it might have fallen back into LV-426.
While you're studying the ACTUAL effects of a vacuum on the human body.
Try throwing a few Orbital mechanics 101 lessons in there as well.
ROFLMAO.
this'll get you started

Alien borrows heavily from A. E. van Vogt's short story Discord in Scarlet.
In that story, Xtl (or Ixtl if you prefer the name given to the creature in The Voyage of the Space Beagle) can survive in space indefinitely.
If we assume the Alien borrows other aspects of its life besides its method of reproduction from Xtl/Ixtl, then, yes, the Alien will float alive in space forever.

The Queen would've eventually re-entered LV-426's atmosphere, burned to a crisp, and splattered across the landscape.
The Alien alien was most likely killed by the shuttle's engine. Even if it wasn't, then it's drifting in interstellar space. If it ever comes into contact with another ship, it'll be when it is splattered like a bug on a windshield.

They are pretty durable. They can survive extreme cold and heat. If it floated in space, I think it could survive a while. It might be in luck if a ship came along.
If it fell back to orbit thought, it's ****ed. -

True.
Here are the ways it would eventually die if it lasted so long.
Starve to death.
Get hit and killed by a passing meteor, asteroid, ship or anything else flying around out there.
Gets burned or melted if it comes close enough to a star.
If it survives long enough and gets pulled in by a planet's gravity then it would burn up as it falls through the atmosphere.
It it somehow survives that then the fall would kill it when it hits the surface.
