I am a student in high school. For our monthly topics, this time I choose
the aforementioned question. The cheese would be in the form of a cube,
about 3" per side. Assume it is launched into space by a rocket and exposed
to space at 1000 miles above Earth. Would this piece of cheese survive?
Why or why not and what will happen to it? I thought this was a silly
question to pick at first, but now I see that it's starting to get
complicated. Any help would be appreciated or at least some pointers in the
right direction.

Thanks,
Knot
