Reason behind the melting of the cube gradually and then turns into water vapours is:
that due to the Thermal energy of heat and from the Law of thermodynamics and thermochemistry the net enthalpy enrgy change required for the ice o get melted to liquid has met all the conditions from the hot gravity free evacuated space.
So the system of particles do have roe but not fullly.
