How much oxygen would you need if you have to live in space for a year?

Let's pick some plausible numbers and work it out: Assume that you breathe 18 times per minute, you inhale 2 liters of air with each breath, and air is 18% oxygen. (18/minute) times (2 liters) times (18%) times (60 minutes/hour) times (24 hours/day) times (365 days/year) = 9,696 liters of pure oxygen, at standard atmospheric pressure. If you're not a metric person, picture this as roughly the size of 2,500 1-gallon milk-jugs. For extended space missions, it's unlikely that the total oxygen requirements for a crew of several people will all be carried aboard at launch. It'll be essential to re-cycle the used gasses on board the spacecraft.

What are 5 reasons why humans cant live on mars?
not water no plants no oxygen its way too hot and would cost too much to get there because no one is willing to pay that much
What is used for oxygen in submarines?
There is a normal CO2 scrubber system that filters CO2 back into oxygen much the same as the space shuttle. In case of emergency oxygen Sodium Chlorate candles are used which give off an enormous amount of oxygen when its activated.
How does Chemistry helps in space travel?
It helps scientists know how much of what is needed to make for example the fuel or how much of gases they need to give the astronauts oxygen.
Can you live on Uranus?
No! You can not live on there because there are to much gasses and it's too poisonous to humans! It is also it very cold!no they can not live on uranusHumans cannot live on Uranus due to extreme cold and harmful gases. Additionally, Uranus does not have a surface to stand on.No, you couldn't live there. It's too cold, and there's no oxygen to breathe. Also, there's no solid surface to stand on.
Why is oxygen transported into space as a liquid?
You can store more fuel if it's present as a liquid because the particles are closer together than the particles in a gas.
Why is earths oxygen breathabale?
First of all it is spelled 'Oxygen'. It is not that Earth's Oxygen is more breathable than another planet's. We have just evolved to need Oxygen to live. Other planets don't have as much Oxygen as we need to live. They have other gases that would kill us instantly. That is why we need spacesuits to be able to walk on the moon and other planets. The same goes for Outer Space. Outer Space has no Oxygen at all.
Since fish live in water and dont breath air does that mean fish can live in space?
No. Fish don't breathe air, but they still breathe oxygen, and there's no oxygen in space. They need oxygen just as much as we do; they just aquire it differently. The oxygen-rich water flows over their gills, and membranes in their gills absorb the oxygen from it and replace it with carbon dioxide.
Why the space wouldn't have any air?
There is no atmosphere, so oxygen would never be created in the first place. Space is so cold, that if you opened a door in space on a ship, the oxygen would be sucked out due to the oxygen being so much warmer. It's just a basic transfer of energy.
How much oxygen is in outer space?
None.
Why do astronauts wear special equipment?
Because there is so much pressure in space, they would most likely combust if they went up without it. They also wear oxygen tanks because there is no oxygen in space.
What would happen to a river ecosystem that ran out of oxygen but had plenty of carbon dioxide in the water?
not much (actually, pretty much nothing) would be able to survive because the amount of oxygen and dissolved oxygen in a river or stream can greatly affect what can and can't survive in it. not much would be able to live if all they had to live off of and take in to their systems was carbon dioxide.
How much would it cost to build a space station to live in outer space?
The cost of the International Space Station is $150 billion US dollars.
If a herd of black rhinos and purple hippos lived in a Space Station how much oxygen would they consume?
One would think that the amount of oxygen used, would be the same as a herd of purple rhinos and black hippos, in the same situation. That is assuming a space craft could be developed that would carry the weight of the said animals to the space station in the first place
How much oxygen do 6 people need in space?
A lot if it
How much oxygen can a space suit contain?
Just enough to survive
How much time the people can stay in space?
People can stay in space as long as they have plenty of oxygen, food and water!
Why would space aliens care so much about Earth solstices and equinoxes?
Because they would want to study our resorces, the way we live.
