Suppose we have a vessel in a place where there is no gravity , and can only conduct heat through 1 side only and the rest insulated, when heated what happens to it ? [???]

Well you will get a spherical vapor in space . When there is a spherical water .. you would probably get a spherical shaped vapor around it ..!?( only when there is normal temperature )
but I am not sure about inside space shuttle or space station .. it depends on atmosphere you conduct and density of gases present around it .

Since there will be no convection, the water layer in contact to the hot side will heat up without initial vaporization, so it will boil quite abruptly. If there is also lack of vibrations or any kind of disturbance, it will overheat and the boiling will be even more abrupt and you can have the rest of the water 'shoot away' from the vapour.
