      The unmitigated radiation outside the ionosphere would also do just as much if not more damage over time than freezing.

      In space you need even more cooling, unless you put them on the dark side of the Moon or somehow keep maintaining an orbit that’s always in shadow.

        Make sure things are good and cold first, then just send into an orbit around the sun that’s at a Lagrange point far enough out to stay cool.

        The dark side of the moon still gets just as much light as the other side so not sure why you mentioned that one, but you’re right it can be hard to get rid of heat in space if you’re producing it.

          You are right, not sure why I said “dark side”, I was thinking of craters that are in permanent shadow (a bunch of those on poles).
