You can freeze it before launch, but you’d have to freeze it again before reentry. Not possible, especially if you’re talking about lining a craft with it during months of space travel. Water expands when frozen, and contracts when liquid. Metal does the opposite. How would you engineer that?
Water doesn’t have to be a liquid, but don’t actual spacecraft typically contain liquids during wall of those cases? What do you mean?

Why can’t it stay liquid?
Didn’t think I needed to stoop to that level. Thought I was talking to about obvious things and didn’t want to sound patronizing.
Thanks for clearing that up.
