I hope they don’t suffer the after burn.

This is a very, very bad idea.

Because of the absence of air (or almost any other substance) in outer space, a spacecraft cannot lose heat through conduction or convection, only through radiation. This process generally works very slowly.

As such, it might even be prudent to pre-emptively ban the following from spacecrafts:

- Strip shows
- Songs by Barry White
- Bikini mud wresting contests
- Songs by Tom Jones
- Most dances of Latin origin (*especially* Salsa)

... After all, it will be difficult to cool things down once they get hot.
