no absolutely not !! rotting is an organic process initiated by microorganism in the air. in the space our food is specially sterized and air is constantly refined.So if food is itself is not contaminated i dont think it will rot

By "outer space" I am presuming you don't mean inside a space capsule. In other words, I will assume that you mean a piece of food floating in space...a vacuum. It depends on where in outer space it is. If it is in a shadow it will freeze, if it is exposed to the sun it will cook. I think maybe we don't know whether certain germs, viruses etc can survive in outer space (that's why the astronauts who went to the moon had to be decontaminated and quarantined for a while). I think the answer to your question is, nobody knows for sure (although I don't think worms can survive in a vacuum!)

Absolutely it will not rot, for the space is a vast vaccum means no air and such organisms will not grow without air and of course any worms will not. Certainly if any organisms or worms escape thru space it will not survive fo a long time for space produce large amount of radiowaves probablt kills any organisms.

Space is a vacuum and if you vacuum pack your food, you are basically doing the same thing (although space would eliminate all the air).

Only if it has anaerobic bacteria on it due to the lack of oxygen in space.
