You need to shove that hint back up your ass where it belongs. Surface
exposure on Mars is 0.67 mSv per day.  What that means is that you can
spend a day, a month, or even a year on the surface and be fine (I'm
using Earth times because that's what the exposure limits are
enumerated in).  You could spend 16 or so Earth years continually on
the surface before you'd hit career limits.

So the answer to your question is that they can stay on the surface
continuously.

Here.  This is intended for school kids.  Maybe you can have someone
explain it to you.

Who said you could, dipshit?  Who said you NEEDED TO, dipshit?

As you've been told repeatedly, N2 is not 'used up', so you don't need
to produce a bunch to replenish it.

Well, let's look at that a second.  Your claim is now that I need 3300
tons of oxygen per day (which is what you'd get out of 10,000 tons or
rock)?  Whatever the hell for?

I'm assuming no such thing, dipshit.  I can't be responsible for your
delusions.  Oh, and just by the way, solar flux available at the Moon
pretty much is what's available on Earth.  It's a bit more because of
the lack of air, but that's quibbling.

No, I put out a square kilometer of solar cells, not a square mile.
Since the cells are locally produced, 'cost' is sort of irrelevant.
What do you think is getting on the cells that requires them to be
constantly cleaned?

A 'nuke battery' (aka RTG) is a horrible idea.  Their power density
sucks.  You want real reactors.

Nitrogen is a big fucking molecule, you ignorant twat.  At normal
pressures you'd lose practically none over a span of years.  Where do
you think it goes?

Hint:  ISS requires some make up N2, but only because the docking
adapters lose it.  That's not really a problem for a settlement.

 One obtains O2, and anything else one needs, from the environment. In
a lunar colony that would stretch from the lunar core to the frozen
zone of comets some distance from Sol and include the Earth. 
 It would also include such places as Ceres, Vesta, Ida, Eros and
Mercury. The only place it may *not* include is Venus. Venus is
utterly useless. 
 Mostly. It would make a nice garbage dump.

 Some rocks do have nitrates in them. Even if not, landing a ton of
frozen nitrogen on the lunar surface is little if any more difficult
than landing a ton of humans, bulldozers, RTG's and other kit. Earth
has rather a lot of nitrogen to spare, certainly more than a ton. 
 Once nitrogen is found, however it is found, binding it to hydrogen
isn't difficult, that's been done for many decades. Once ammonia is
made, feeding it to plants is rather simple. Even farmers can manage
that trick. They've been doing it for quite a while, now. 
 If Earth gets fussy and needy and terribly stupid, as Earth's
politicians have a great tendency to do, one cometary fragment would
supply sufficient nitrogen to cover the Moon in forest. 
 It is a vast cosmos out there and it is stuffed with stuff that would
come in handy to an expanding civilisation. The great shame is that
humans will never have one of those.

 Even if not, landing a comet onto the lunar surface is not difficult.
It just takes a bit of time and the willingness to waste some of the
body as reaction mass. Whether the landing is hard or soft depends on
the then currently available recovery technologies. Personally, I'd
prefer a very wasteful soft landing. I've wanted to see that since I
read "The Martian Way" many years ago.
 Landing a cometary fragment "as the gods and Lt. Heinlein intended"
would be ever so very cool.
 And the colonists could sell the videos to movie makers on Earth. It
would be a *gorgeous* SFX. 
 
 Ten years, or less, and the Moon could have *lakes*. 
 
 It's such a shame that humans will never do any of this.

I never said anything like that.

However, support from 'back home' wasn't oxygen, food, water, and
repair parts for high tech equipment.

For the most part it was luxury items such as good china before such
manufacturing could be established in the colonies.

In return the colonies, depending on where they were, sent back things
like spices, precious metals, furs, and timber.

There is nothing off the Earth so valuable it would be worth the
shipping cost in fuel to send it back to Earth.

And that technology, except for a very few things like muskets, dates
back to at least the 10th Century.

And, BTW, the indigious populations where most colonies where established
were surviving just fine on Stone Age technology long before the Europeans
appeared.

As long as they are plants that don't require a lot of sunlight, in which

Don't forget the pumps to keep the dome pressurized and the huge power

Of course, you will need most of that stuff anyway, except for the nitrogen

 Why?
 Plants can grow on Mars outside of human technology. All they need is
a little GM, a bit of hybridisation and *FARMING* and plants will grow
wild.
 Greening Mars is easy.
 Greening Venus would take more effort.
 Greening Luna would be almost effortless, once a vacuum-resistant
cactoid was developed. 
 Seed the soils with nutrients, adapt plants to the local conditions
and step back. 
 No, the long lunar nights, and the cold of Mars and Moon when not in
direct sunlight would no more be a problem than is Winter in Europe.
All it takes is a little help from humans and plants could happily
wait out the cold, dark nights and recover at dawn.
 And plants don't give a toss about radiation or meteorites. 
 Indeed, both would be beneficial to the species in the long term.  

>

 Why? 
 Plants grow more slowly with low light levels but they do grow. All
the colonists need to do is plant two acres of food where Earthly
farms would only have needed one. *Farming* wouldn't change it would
only need larger farms. 
 If an acre could supply a human on Earth, it would only take a
hundred to support the same human out by Saturn. 
 Try, by the time one gets past Saturn the numbers are starting to get
ridiculous but by the time vast numbers of what once were humans are
living out that way they would certainly know this and have formulated
solutions.
 
 You are, as little minds often do, re-inventing the same bogeymen the
evil forces of darkness use to frighten the children in our
parliaments. 
 It is so very sad that people can still think in so limited and petty
a fashion. 
   

>
>Don't forget the pumps to keep the dome pressurized and the huge power
>source for the pumps and possible grow lights.

 Small thinking from limited minds. These issues were considered and
disposed of in the 1950's, over *SIXTY* *YEARS* *AGO*. 
 Three generations of Man and more and you are still spouting the same
idiocies of those who told Wilbur and Orville their contraption would
never fly and Stephenson that travelling at more than the speed of a
running horse would suffocate people.
 
 *Learn* something. Go out and find a part of the library and read
some books. 
 Read some research papers by O'Neill and others. 
 Hell, read some SF. Most of it is utter shite but some authors have
done their research and use their engineering, physics and other
degrees to tell tales of wonder.
 
 Try expanding your horizon instead of cramping those of everyone else
with your tiny, petty, little world view.

 "The essential difference between the pro- and anti- WRT space travel
is that those who believe in it are supporting the notion that Earth
is Mankind's cradle, and those who do not are supporting the notion
that the Earth is Mankind's tomb."

 Religions see the Earth as a filter, nothing more than a sieve to
separate out the good bits of soul-stuff from the rubbish. They see
the function of Earth as being no more than a handkerchief.
 Most religions see the ultimate fate of Earth and all living on her

war.
 Most politics is even less sophisticated and far more childish.
 The Dream Of Stars saw Earth as the cradle, the seeding ground for a

 The Dream was beautiful

Mostly Spanish and French colonies were like that.  There's a reason
why those tended to fail and North American is largely derived from
English colonies which didn't behave that way.

Water is available on both the moon and Mars at at least one of the 
poles on each.  Oxygen is also available on both the moon and Mars; it 
just needs to be extracted.  Food can therefore be grown.

Repair parts for high tech equipment is exactly the sort of thing that 
Fred is talking about when he says "support".  For early earth colonies, 
things which are difficult to manufacture locally, like anything made of 
metal, had to be shipped in, unless there was a readily available source 
of metal at the colony and all of the tools to smelt and then process 
and work with it.

Agreed that this pattern would often continue with even well established 
colonies.  The colony would mostly ship back raw materials, or goods 
easily manufactured locally, and the "old world" would send the colony 
finished "hard" goods.

Depends.  If the fuel is largely made locally (on the moon or Mars), the 
cost is local too.  It may be more difficult to extract, but the supply 
(the entire planet or moon) versus demand (a fledgling colony) would be 
quite favorable.

Most certainly, but even that early tech (e.g. metal knives, axes, and 
etc) would be quite difficult to manufacture at many early colonies 
which may lack readily available raw materials (e.g. iron ore right on 
the surface).

"Just fine" is a stretch, depending on the technological level of the 
indigenous populations.  (Primitive) technologies like farming and 
domestication and selective breeding of animals *greatly* increased the 
potential population density of even indigenous populations.

Sure, all this is theoretically posible at a horrendous cost that no
one will ever want to finance.

Repair parts take more than metal. Concider all the bits and pieces
needed to make something as simple as a relay to control a blower
motor. You need several different kinds of metal and alloys as well
as wire and insulators.

Cost is cost no matter where it comes from and again, there is nothing
off the Earth so valuable it would be worth the shipping cost.

Totally misses the point; the colonies could buy such things until
local production was establishe with things like timber, fur, and
spices.

Point missed yet again. The indigenous populations were able to live,
in some cases for thousands of years, without any resupply from Europe.

 Information.
 Movies sell. Even movies about super-beings, fantasy lands and
schools full of obnoxious children make many, many dollars. 
 Music sells. Books sell. Research products sell lots. 
 Hollywood spends milliards of dollars pretending humans are having
adventures in off-Earth environments. The SFX budgets are huge. Any
thriving lunar or Martin colony could do better, more realistic SFX
(because they would be *real*) far cheaper. 
 And SF movies are only a tiny sliver of the possibilities. There
would have been movie, book and music genres no one had ever dreamed
of. 
 No?
 How many people wrote Western novels before the USAlien colonies
sprung up? 
 How many SF writers in Europe even *imagined* gunslingers, cowboys
and Calamity Jane's? 
 Extrapolate to thousands of colonies featuring many sub-species of
Man on and in many worlds. The possibilities for intercultural
cross-fertilisation would have been staggering and beautiful.
 To the Europeans of the 18th Century, the Americans were a New Breed
Of Man. Their culture was, and indeed still is in many ways, utterly
alien and interesting and often fun and entertaining.
 Think of the effect that thousands of USAlias would have had.
 And what we would have discovered with so many aliens.
 Barren?
 Off world would have been the most fertile part of human civilisation
ever created. 
 It would have been so beautiful.  
   
 
 Now, ignore the vast economy of information in its many forms and
look at what a successful lunar colony could send to Earth in the form
of stuff: refined metals to enable the Terrans to close their mines
and to cease polluting their living world (no, Greenpeace would not
have any reason to picket a lunar mining operation, the Loonies would
not be polluting anything *living*), drugs, food, new substances made
possible by lunar or off-Moon environments. All of hose could be
dropped onto Earth in large lumps quite gently. 
 You think not? Meteorites land on this planet all day, every day and
many are intact. Shape a meteor aerodynamically and it could land in
the Atlantic safely and softly.
 Shape it efficiently enough and one could pack hens eggs in it and
deliver them intact. It is only engineering and we have *loads* of
able engineers.

 True, but the Europeans did not have the skills or knowledge
necessary to adapt and their social structures and strictures,
including their hierarchical control of knowledge and information and
the lack of the ability to apply innovative thinking, hindered their
efforts considerably. 
 That should not be the case with Martians and Lunar colonists. 
 Though, of course, knowing humans and their endless stupidities, it
may well have been had there ever been such things.

 It's a shame we'll never know.

Greenland has been populated to varying degrees for over 4,000 years.

All but the smallest Pacific islands were populated by people with Stone
Age technology.

Which one over the over 4,000 years of habitation?

No colony on Earth ever failed for lack of oxygen.

Very few failed for lack of water.

A fair number in less warm climates failed for lack of storing food for
the winter.

A few failed due to hostile indigenous people.

All this is irrelevant.

Attempting to compare any colony on the Earth to a colony off the Earth
is starry eyed nonsense.

So now you care what you die from?  We've found water both on the Moon
and on Mars.  Oxygen isn't that difficult a problem, either, given an
oven to bake it out of rocks.

Colonies always need supply and support initially.  Colonies off the
Earth will be no different.

The main problem I see for space coloies is the complexity of the
technology that is needed for survival, if spare parts cannot be
imported.

Take a simple O-ring used as a seal as as an example.

Currently, this is made from an elastomer.  If it needs to
withstand oil, you will probably need NBR, a rubber made from
1-3-Butadiene and Acrylonitrile.

So, you need 1-3-Butadiene.

You can get that from a C4 stream coming from a steam cracker, which
needs a hydrocarbon feedstock and is an enormously complex chemical
plant, requiring catalysts and dozens of distillation columns.
To separate it from the other C4 products, you usually use a sulfuric
acid extraction.  A steam cracker also produces dozens of other
products, which you will have to dispose of (wasteful) or 
use (for what?)

Hmm... maybe not that, dehydrogenation of n-Butane may be better.
Dehydrogenation catalyst needed, typically Platinum.  To get
n-Butane, you need a steam cracker.

Or maybe dehydrogenate Ethanol (a catalytic reaction, of course).

OK, let's assume we have Butadiene.  Next, we need acrylonitrile,
which is made from Propylene and Ammonia.

Propylene you get from that steam cracker (see above).  Ammonia
manufacture is a high-pressure process requiring nitrogen and
hydrogen.  Nitrogen on the Moon will be hard to get, on Mars
it could be done.

Because NBR is made by emulsion polymerization, you need emulsifiers
(and water).  Emulsifiers are basically soap, so please set up
your soap factory somewhere.

Now you've got the basic polymer, please also set up your plants for
making all the additives which make it into a usable rubber.

And set up the plants for making the catalysts that the different
processes above require.

You can't really use the latex produced in the polymerizaion, so
please use your ready-made plant for precipitation and washing of
the latex and drying (which could involve both a screw and a dryer).
Think of a way to deal with the huge amount of waste water this
will generate, and don't forget the Polyethylene film to wrap
it in.

Now you've got your rubber bale, but it is not yet an O-Ring.
You need to compound and vulcanize it.

Just grabbing a random recipe from the net, please also have
ready your Zinc Oxide, Magnesium oxide, Stearic acid, Styrenated
Phenol, Benzothiazol Disulfide (an accelerator), Tetramethyl
Thiuram Disulfide (another accelerator), Carbon Black, Sulfur and
Dioctyl phtalate.  Also put some old motor oil in, and Add a few
anti-aging and anti-oxydizing chemicals while you're at it.

And this is just to make one simple everyday part that you
could order for a few cents on Earth.

So, is there a way around this?  You can try to restrict yourself
to the materials that you really, really need.  This will mean
that your solutions will be much worse than what you could get on
Earth by just ordering the products you needed.  I am not sure
that this will be easy given the harshness of your environment,
where your solutions should be good if you want to survive.

So, a self-sufficient space colony would have to be quite
large to support something like our technological base.

Or instead of cracking down complex hydrocarbons you don't have, you
build up what you need out of the pieces.  Please read up on in situ

What in situ resources could I use on the Moon (or Mars) to make an
O-ring capable of withstanding oil?
