Absolutely. Due to the extremely low pressure in space, any liquid water would immediately evaporate, as the boiling point is inversely related to pressure. This will cause your surface temperature to drop. But as soon as that's over, your core temperature would probably offset that again.

He didn't skim on it, he specifically said he considers viruses life. And as they don't metabolize, by his definition life does not require metabolism. At this point, there is no correct definition of what life is, there are just varying arguments to give for or against certain definitions.
