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 is oxygen packing density?
Oxygen packing density refers to the amount of molecular oxygen that can be contained in a given volume or space. It is commonly used in the context of oxygen storage systems, such as oxygen tanks or containers, to determine how much oxygen can be stored in a specific volume. The higher the oxygen packing density, the more oxygen that can be stored in a smaller space.
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.
When your on the moon is your weight more or less than on Earth?
On the Moon, you would feel like you weighed only one-sixth as much as you would on Earth. Which is probably just as well. When you add in the space suit, oxygen tanks, thick boots and gloves, it would be very difficult to walk in Earth-normal gravity.
Would you freeze in space close to the sun?
No, you would not, because the Sun's rays would heat you up. The temperature you would reach depends on how much of that heat is absorbed and how much is re-radiated, so it depends entirely on the nature of the body at that point. It's impossible to give space a temperature anywhere, because there is nothing in a piece of space that could possess temperature.
What is the principle of electric space heaters?
Space heaters are very much designed to live up to their name. Electric space heaters mean that almost everybody in the UK has access to warmth without expensive central heating.
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.
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
Why would space aliens care so much about Earth solstices and equinoxes?
Because they would want to study our resorces, the way we live.
Why would you live in a castle?
Because if you were the lord or lady of the manor, that means you were rich to live in one. People would work for you. You will have everything you need to live, a chapel, etc. And also you had a place to live!!!
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!
How much oxygen is carried by astronauts in a space shuttle?
maybe they brought a plant
