Closed-loop systems like on the ISS already reclaim water from humidity, sweat, and urine, and could be scaled up for larger habitats. Air works similarly: CO₂

Closed-loop systems like on the ISS already reclaim water from humidity, sweat, and urine, and could be scaled up for larger habitats. Air works similarly: CO₂ is scrubbed, oxygen is regenerated from electrolysis, and trace gases are filtered. I realize you still need an initial stock of oxygen and nitrogen, but isn’t this a problem that could be solved eventually with science?
- jitl 1y agoThis is like saying “once we solve the problem, the problem will be solved”
- TMEHpodcast 1y agoNow you’re speaking my language! Let’s get started shall we?
- econ 1y agoAfter we solve it the problem won't exist anymore. No more deals.
