Why is the temperature in space 0 degrees Celcius??
The temperature in space is -270.45 degrees Celcius (amost 0 degrees Kelvin). In this game all you need is a nice (pressurized) jacket to stay warm in space.

A container with a living human inside will never be anywhere near 0K in space.

"External temperature"

the degrees are in K anyway.

No, the temperature is in Celcius

There is vacuum in space, so temperature is not relevant. It´s about your suit emiting heat outside. You need cold gas to actually cool you down, but there is no gas in vacuum.

Maybe it shoud say "NaN" <joke>

Temperatures on the moon are very hot in the daytime, about 100 degrees C. At night, the lunar surface gets very cold, as cold as minus 173 degrees C. This wide variation is because Earth's moon has no atmosphere to hold in heat at night or prevent the surface from getting so hot during the day.
So I think it's not implemented yet. Also one of major things is radiation.

The atmospheric temperature in space is non-existent since there's no atmosphere in space, which 0 does represent fairly accurately.

"External temperature"

"External" means what in vacuum? What would be the purpose of presenting the calculated statistical value for the temperature of a volume with a handful of molecules in it be? Presumably the user is interested in the external temp of the suit, not the fact that they're in vacuum? Temp is going to vary widely depending on illumination, activity, radiative conditions etc but not so much vacuum- it's not "cold" as much as it is an excellent insulator as there's no conductive/convective media to wick energy away. This is why eg. the ISS has huge radiators- the problem in vacuum is normally radiating excess heat, not "staying warm".
