Thermite has its own oxygen source so it can burn without an outer source of oxygen, including underwater and in the vacuum of space.
However, I do doubt that thermite can burn in space, since space is quite cold. It would just depend in how far away from the Sun you are when you light the thermite.

What kind of pen writes in space?
Good Question Well ......... There is a vaccuum-cartridge pen that will write in space. There is also a device known as a "pencil." :)
Does buoyancy work in space?
No chance of buoyancy force in free space. Buoyancy is the force is due to the weight of the expelled fluid when an object comes into that fluid. But in free space no material is present and so no expelling. Hence no buoyancy.
What is thermite welding?
Thermite welding is all about using thermite for welding steel or iron. Thermite is actually a mixture of iron oxide and powdered aluminum.
What is copper thermite?
Copper thermite is a type of thermite where instead of the iron oxide, copper oxide is used instead. The reaction produces pure copper metal, but this thermite gets a little more splattery than the iron thermite.
What is thermite manufactured from?
Thermite is manufactured from pure metals and avoiding the use of carbon in the process of it. Thermite was originally discovered by a German chemist named Hans Goldschmidt.
How do you light thermite without magnesium?
A welding torch might work. But it's not always very safe, since you are standing rather close to the thermite if you are torching it directly. If you can't get your hands on magnesium, you can try to use some types of sparkler fuses. Some of these fuses are hot enough to initiate thermite, although I'll just go with magnesium to save the hassle if a fuse doesn't work.
Is thermite illegal?
Thermite itself is not illegal, but it is highly regulated because of its potential for misuse. Special permits or licenses may be required to possess, use, or transport thermite. It is important to check and comply with local laws and regulations before obtaining or using thermite.
Why is thermite reaction used in industry?
Thermite reaction is used in industry for welding steel together in-place
Where is thermite found?
Thermite is a mixture of 1 part aluminum oxide for every 3 parts iron oxide
What are the products of thermite?
For the classical iron oxide and aluminum thermite, the products of the reaction are aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and iron (Fe). However, there are many kinds of thermite, but they always produce the pure metal from the oxide.
Is Thermite Illegal in Montana?
It is ilegal
Is thermite legal in Canada?
yes
Is thermite illegal in Kansas?
yes
What is thermite made out of?
Thermite is easy to make, just mix fine powdered aluminum powder (400 mesh) with fine powdered iron oxide, the ratio is 1:2. Its better to light it with a magnesuim strip. The ingredients can be bought on eBay.
