Challenges with interstellar travel - Water & food systems


Listen Later

An interstellar mission would require tons of drinking water, food, the equipment, space, materials, and supplies; to store preserve, use, and recycle their waste. And, the bulk and mass that these resources will require would be gargantuan. Not only because of the large size of the crew of an interstellar mission. But also because of the long, long, flight ahead of them. Not only these, but the crew will likely have offspring, the next generation, who will also require nurture from water and food. And, gathering water and food from destinations enroute is hardly feasible, and would only further complicate and lengthen the mission by unacceptable margins. Our technical ability at extracting water from space destinations is precisely null. And, our skills at producing food away from earth are at best in their primitive stages. So, the problems presented by our need for water and food, in space, are tremendous; to put it mildly.
