What are the problems with living in space?

Answer 1

There are a number of challenges and concerns for living in space.

1. Space is a vacuum. There is no air, no oxygen to breathe. We must take our own oxygen with us, and we must be able to filter out or reprocess the waste gasses like carbon dioxide that would certainly kill the crew if not kept under control.

2. There's no food in space. Astronauts must take their own food and water.

3. On the Moon, with lots of space and power, we can make problem number 1 solve problem number 2. On Earth, plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen; in the long run, we will need to do this too. Grow plants for food. LOTS of plants. Feed them with the waste that the astronauts produce; feces, urine, CO2. The plants will thrive, and produce vegetables, fresh water and oxygen.

4. Heat management: In space, you can't ignore the problem of either getting rid of or retaining the heat in the spacecraft.

Answer 2

Living in space presents challenges such as muscle and bone loss due to microgravity, radiation exposure, limited access to medical care, psychological stress from isolation, and reliance on life support systems for survival. The lack of gravity can also affect bodily functions and overall health over extended periods of time.
