I think not... People just visit the outerspace... There's no oxygen, no food, no water... How could we possibly live in outerspace??? It'll take years to accomplish a big aquarium or city or whatever in outerspace!!! So I think not...

shheesh.. heck no

If you put someone in outerspace they could easily live for the rest of their lives. Of course, without life support the rest of their lives would last about two seconds.

I believe that as we advance in technology we will be able to eventually live in space. I know of one thing that we would need to accomplish before we are able to stay for long periods in space and that is to accomplish the effect of gravity. Living here on Earth we are able to keep muscle healthy and functional due to the friction and resistance that the gravity gives us. However, in space since there is no gravity, we would lose the muscle. It would degenerate the longer that we are in space with no form of gravity. This is true for astronauts. They are only allowed so much time in space at a time and must exercise to counter the effects of a no gravity environment to some degree.

It's possible to recycle 100% of water, and oxygen is generated by electrolysis of water.
When you think about it, the planet Earth is in outerspace and that manages to sustain its water and oxygen supply.

well yes , we can live in orbit of a planet. for long time survival , normal gravity has to be there ,and this can be achieved by building a huge toroid like structure which is rotating on ots vertical axis, a toroid of 1 km radius rotating at 1 rpm can produce 1 g. It will be a huge artificial structure where soil and water initially would have to be brought from earth( for plants and agro, zeoponics and hydroponics wud be used) .
it would need to be self sustaining, it would have water rec ycling plant, hospitals, and everythin, from swimming pools(its possible) to basketball... its a distinct possibility but i think u got ur answer.

It is most definitely feasible. For years, NASA and other groups have been studying ways to make life self-sufficient is outer space. As far as gravity causing muscle atrophy, all that is required is extensive daily exercise. This helps prevent muscle atrophy and bone loss. For self-sufficiency, it has been determined that hydroponic farming may be the answer--a good, space-efficient way to farm and grow food, as well as home-grown oxygen scrubbers.

Plus, due to no gravity - your bones start to expand and turn soft. Eventually you'd turn into a gelatinous mass, eat all the food, then eat all your shipmates; crash-land on some populated planet and start eating all the living organisms there until you become known as "The Blob!'. lol -it could happen!

Yes. Of course they can but they would have to do a lot of things and learn to get used to being bored. They would exercise for hours while drinking milk to keep their bones strong, eat dried foods without having it get away, read for hours and get hungry waiting for the new shipload for food, and worst of all, they would have to use sperms ready in jars.

Absolutely not right now. We don't have near the technology. Maybe in 200 to 1200 years.

it is possible to create self-sustaining colonies on the moon, solar power for electrcity and for growing food. moon soil is great for insulation against radiation. plus there is water on the moon as well. Water + Electricty = hydrogen and oxygen (rocket fuel) and also air to breathe.

gravity weakens your bones so if they changed their minds upon landing all their bones would ( after 6 months ) be 0.02% of their original density meaning that their ribs would be crushed on landing, legs broken on the way down ect
if artificial gravity was created then the next problem is radiation, there is no ozone layer to protect them
and then there is the economics of it all, who does it benifeit? no1
