I think that it does - the faster the molecules are moving, the higher the temperature - no molecules = no movement = very cold. This was my initial thought, but now I am wondering, what molecules are there to absorb the energy off of my rapidly moving molecules, thus freezing me? I'm not sure.. but I know that somehow space is considered "cold" and acts cold. Craft sent to mars have been engineered to survive frigid temperatures.
