Actually, it wasn't in space, but rather inside a spaceship. The Doctor was hiding in the ship when it took off; the pilot of the ship had on a suit though. Maybe the suit was only needed for oxygen (since the Doctor put himself into a trance to reduce his need for oxygen). But, if a ship didn't have any air in it, wouldn't that be somewhat of a vaccuum? (then again, this is television :-)) The episode, by the way, was the one about Eden being holographically captured on some sort of crystal. Can't remember the name right off hand.
