the temperature of space is pretty close to zero Kelvin (-273 C)
that is due to the lack of substance to create energy.
Heat, or lack of heat, is transferred by substances like air or water or metal. No air = no transfer of cold or heat from space to the ship. The ship's outer hull actually is hot where the sun shines on it and very cold on the shady side. It's just really well insulated.
If spaceships were in -273 C air, then it would freeze solid (mostly because the air would freeze too)

A space craft absorbs heat from the sunlight hitting it to keep warm. Thermal control engineers specify the color, reflectivity (or shinyness) and other design features of the space craft to control its heat balance and so control temperature. For space craft going so far from the Sun that the just don't get warmed enough by sunlight, like the Cassini space craft now orbiting Saturn, they use nuclear power to heat the space craft (and provide electric power too since solar panels don't make enough power in the weak sunlight so far from the Sun).

It could be under freezing component. The decrease the temp the extra reliable the floor would be. because it is been under freezing for sometime it would take the floor a sprint longer to heat up so the floor could nonetheless be stressful if no longer frozen. It relies upon on the place interior the rustic you're. i be attentive to right here in Gloucester we are nonetheless frozen quite interior the hills

They would if they did not generate heat internally.
And, as a previous poster stated, space is a vacuum, which means energy tranfers away from objects less efficiently than it would in an air or water enviornment of the same temperature.

Space is far colder than -40 degrees!

it may be the temperature of space (Actually, I don't think it is!) but it isn't the temperature of space ships! They are heated and insulated (and cooled as well, 'cos they can get pretty hot in sunlight!)

because there is a wonderful thing called heat inside them

Eh, perhaps because they do not consist of liquid.
