Why would hard vacuum be a problem to plastic? Could the plastic be
shielding from the UV etc. What are those other things in space that you
are talking about. X-rays, hard radiation, dust, etc.? I see a problem
going on here. URGH!

Some of the bonding agents evaporate out of the plastic in vacume.
Yes, all those and more. Also reaction with charged chemicals your runing
into and hudreds of thousands of miles per secound.
