if the outside temperature is 175 below like one of the miners said
Damn , kids those days dont learn beep in school.
There is no temperature in space, since there is no medium for the heat to travel in
Space is actually pretty warm, with all that cosmic radiation solar winds and your own body heat you will boil faster than you will start loosing your heat.
But yeah, every time a head exploded in this movie it made me cringe. So stupid. -

Both in a way, vacuum itself has no temperature so be being "neutral" it already feels like summer day. But still you will gain heat from other sources that are negligible on earth, like cosmic radiation or the mentioned solar winds when not protected properly.
So while vacuum might have no temperature, it will feel very warm, just because we are used to air stealing our heat on earth, and with the lack of that we will automatically think of it as being in a warm place. -

Electromagnetic radiation dosnt need medium thanks to its wave particle duality, that is it is at the same time both a wave and made up of particles called photons, and can be its own medium. Or its just one of the unexplained qualities of spacetime, this is quantum physics stuff so gotta ask a specialist on that.
Anyway, not all heat transfer consists of kinetic energy exchange between particles just most of it, at lest on earth where earth electromagnetic field protects us from most of suns and universes radiation. But in space without that protection its a different matter, depending on where you were you could ether fry or just slowly get cancer or die of radiation sickness. -

Total Recall spoiler:
Only because Quaid thought it was that way. According to the director, the entire film after he visited Rekall was his own construct based on the secret agent ego trip they implanted. He ends up getting lobo'ed at the endjust as he was told would happen by the Rekall director who visits his "Ego Trip". So how things operate in reality are totally irrelevant.
Of course, the ending is purposely shot to leave things ambiguousbut that is the canon explanation in his commentary.
