I thought about that today as I was on my way to a diving job in Alaska in the middle of winter. Water, and air, contain molecules that touch other molecules and steal thier energy. Water is denser than air so steals energy faster (you can die in the water I was diving in less than 15min). But space has nearly no particles. Virtually all heat transfers via radiation. That means that even thought space is -459f in the absence of radiation, it would not steal energy away from you as fast as being naked in antartica in the winter, or skinnny dipping in arctic water in the winter. So in a practical sence space would not be colder than Antarctica in the winter.
