altAir
Breathing In Outer Space
Are you willing to challenge in-the-box thinking?
Sourcing and transporting nitrogen into space
is expensive.
(As used here, expensive is a synonym for stupid.)
Alternatives to breathing altAir in space have been explored, but current investigations yield surprising results.
But here is the main problem: are you open-minded enough to recognize a future reality?
This book presents a case for converting to helium-based “altAir.” It compares the costs of mining helium in orbit to sending kilotons of nitrogen up Earth’s gravity-well, emphasizing a study by the European Space Agency and NASA’s Mars’ experiment, MOXIE (February 2021).
As have other studies, the ESA has already shown that mining gases in orbit is feasible—and cheaper. Five critical questions are answered, but since innovations must compete in the marketplace, cost is the bulk of the content.
Following cost considerations are a look at advantages and disadvantages, then the reasons that the disadvantages don’t matter, followed by two minor hypotheses.
