The base's main advantage is that it doesn't have to move anything, so it can afford to be heavy - and, as a corollary, large. Insofar as I understand the current state/scientific understanding of physics, radiation is the only way to transfer heat across a vacuum; the other methods (conduction and convection) require contact. This still makes the base better at dissipating heat than your spacecraft - it just has to have more surface area to do the radiating; sort of the opposite of solar panels. | |
