"Heat" is the motion of atoms or molecules, and the amount of "heat" is expressed as "temperature". Since there is no matter in the vacuum of space, there can be no "heat", so the terms "hot" or "cold" are inapplicable. You're question asked how cold it was in space, not in a thermometer.

 

Yes, but if you were there in a spacesuit, you would perceive it as hot or cold, depending on how much solar radiation was striking your body.

and, just to make matters worse, today I heard an AT&T cell phone ad featuring the Ramones.... which caused me to briefly consider driving my car off the hawthorne bridge.
