altAir: Breathing in Outer Space
Scientific Fiction
Hey! It’s a buck! And it’s the only book in the universe that speaks to the subject! Spend a dollar and you’ll be the supreme being among your friends and family. Read it now, while doing so is still avant-garde!
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.
As have other studies, the ESA has already shown that mining gases in orbit is feasible — and cheaper. Find out why our current approach is not our best option.
