They can if they use The Force.
Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x01 - "The Broken Circle"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
There are ways it can
Chapel goes off to do her thing on Archeological Medicine (which was mentioned in this episode), meets Korby, it breaks Spock's heart so he tries to supress his emotions because he doesn't like the hurt.
Or he doesn't want to be unfaithful with T'Pring, and tries to supress his feelings.

a stock pile of Federation weapons on the surface of neutral planet? It backs up the ship that appeared out of nowhere.
This is the same franchise that says "Hey, if we overclock the adrenal glands we get superhuman admiral who can throw a human through a door and knock out a Klingon."
Again. Why the camera flip thing when they jumped through the hatch in the floor?
Because there is no up in space.
And don't forget the crew that mutinied to prevent Captain Garth (Kirk's hero) from destrying a Planet (which ended with his court martial and imprisonment in a Federation insane asylum.
Oh and speaking of Starship Captain court martials; in TOS S1 Court Martial, Commodore Stone explicitly states to Kirk:
"No Starship Captain has ever stood trial before, and I don't want you to be the first..."

Guess he blocked out Captain Garth's trial, eh?

As someone noted earlier in the thread, freezing in space that quickly is, I think, unrealistic because in a vacuum, there is no medium to easily have heat transmit through to escape the human body.
M'Benga and Chapel were in a hell of a lot more danger from being not very far from an exploding starship.
And I guess the camera flip at the hatch is to convey a sense of adrenaline and lightheadedness as they flee. Added punch to the action.
I mean, he was put in the insane asylum. His name was stricken from the record, and blotted from our eyes and hearts.Guess he block out Captain Garth's trial, eh?
Archer was pressure-ejected from Cold Station 12 into the vacuum of space and though he was beamed to safety faster than M'Benga and Chapel he still had many of the same physical symptoms of exposure to space. Frosty/icy exposed skin. Bloodshot eyes and capillaries breaking under the skin's surface. Signs of tremendous stresses on the human body.
Nobody was claiming Enterprise was any more realistic than Strange New Worlds.

I'm thankful they used a new long-lived race as sorry, in TOS there were PLENTY of near immortal races encountered or mentioned in passing. but I hated what they did to the El-Alurians and their connection to the Q from TNG. Don't really care to see anything from TNG polluting a TOS era show myself. YMMV.
So, you're saying it's Star Trek?
All it takes is some Faith of the Heart and a suspension of disbelief.

many fallacies about space have emerged. Outer space is often depicted in film as a cold, inhospitable place, where exposure to the perpetual vacuum will make your blood boil and your body burst; alternatively, if neither of those things happen, you’re bound to instantly freeze into a human-popsicle. Meanwhile, many of these same films conveniently ignore the slightly more subtle, yet highly relevant hazards of prolonged spaceflight even in an enclosed vessel at normal atmospheric pressure.
One common misconception is that outer space is cold, but in truth, space itself has no temperature. In thermodynamic terms, temperature is a function of heat energy in a given amount of matter, and space by definition has no mass. Furthermore, heat transfer cannot occur the same way in space, since two of the three methods of heat transfer (conduction and convection) cannot occur without matter.
What does this mean for a person in space without a spacesuit? Because thermal radiation (the heat of the stove that you can feel from a distance, or from the Sun’s rays) becomes the predominant process for heat transfer, one might feel slightly warm if directly exposed to the Sun’s radiation, or slightly cool if shaded from sunlight, where the person’s own body will radiate away heat. Even if you were dropped off in deep space where a thermometer might read 2.7 Kelvin (-455°F, the temperature of the “cosmic microwave background” leftover from the Big Bang that permeates the Universe), you would not instantly freeze because heat transfer cannot occur as rapidly by radiation alone.
The absence of normal atmospheric pressure (the air pressure found at Earth’s surface) is probably of greater concern than temperature to an individual exposed to the vacuum of space [1]. Upon sudden decompression in vacuum, expansion of air in a person’s lungs is likely to cause lung rupture and death unless that air is immediately exhaled. Decompression can also lead to a possibly fatal condition called ebullism, where reduced pressure of the environment lowers the boiling temperature of body fluids and initiates transition of liquid water in the bloodstream and soft tissues into water vapor [2]. At minimum, ebullism will cause tissue swelling and bruising due to the formation of water vapor under the skin; at worst, it can give rise to an embolism, or blood vessel blockage due to gas bubbles in the bloodstream.
Our dependence on a continuous supply of oxygen is the more limiting factor to the amount of time a human could survive in a full vacuum. Contrary to how the lungs are supposed to function at atmospheric pressure, oxygen diffuses out of the bloodstream when the lungs are exposed to a vacuum. This leads to a condition called hypoxia, or oxygen deprivation. Within 15 seconds, deoxygenated blood begins to be delivered to the brain, whereupon unconsciousness results

I rely on strength of the soul.
Spock didn't steal the Enterprise in STIII:TSFS - Kirk, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov and McCoy did (And none of those characters were in this episode).
Spock DID effectively steal the Enterprise in TOS S1 The Menagerie to get post accident Pike to Talos IV. <--- Personally, I LOVE that now both times Spock did it, it was to help a member of his Pre-Kirk era crew. YMMV.
