Corrected entry: Supposedly the thing landed/crashed and crawled out afterwards into the freezing arctic, where it froze solid. Well and good. Why did it leave the ship into the freezing environment it could not tolerate? As soon as it enters the ship it fires it up and starts to take off. So there was apparently nothing wrong with the ship requiring it to go outside in the first place.

Correction: The idea is the alien got flung out of the ship when it crashed, ending up in the ice and freezing solid before it could escape back inside.
