Would any be theoretically viable? I imagine a cyst gets blown into space from time to time but wouldn't last long in a radiation filled vacuum. Solar UV radiation is intense without the atmosphere. It's why space suit visors look reflective and why spaceships tend to always be white or shiny.
Bonus: myth: space is dark. You don't get the omnipresent lit sky effect since there is no atmosphere to scatter the light but if you are anywhere near a star it is blindingly bright... in the star's direction.
