Does entropy and heat make long term human space travel effectively impossible? How do you cool off enough when there's nothing but vacuum around and you can't afford to jettison anything? This is assuming there is enough energy somehow for continuous life support.

The only answer I imagined was extruding a fuckhuge thin surface material that cycles water through it edge it towards the background radiation temperature, but I have no idea if that would even work. Sounds problematic anyway.

No. We call what you described radiators. Both the space station and the shuttle have them.

That is thermodynamically impossible
