I'm always annoyed that people don't get that space isn't cold or hot, since heat is a property of matter, and that's exactly what a vacuum doesn't have. Your travel mug example is great. I'm going to start using it.

    That’s because science literacy is pretty low.

    And to be fair, the average person doesn’t need to understand vacuum thermodynamics. The issues is when a few of those “average people” are now billionaires making unilateral decisions, surrounded by yes men and feeds instead of experts informing them of reality.
