While it gets that cold in the shade on the Moon, the vast majority of
the moonwalkers time was spent in the sunlight, at closer to +250
degrees.

The suits were white to reflect most of the radiation, and the
internals included a "liquid cooled garment" to remove excess heat from
the astronauts.
Suits designed for Titan would need heat generators.

Also...being surrounded by a "cold" vacuum isnt nearly as bad as being
surrounded by a cold gas...

trying to keep warm in a vacuum vs a dense atmosphere is like trying to keep
warm in cold air vs cold water....

being in titans dense and chilly atmosphere would suck the heat out pretty
fast...but I would be surprised if decent insulation and a heat source couldnt
keep a titan vistor warm


take care
