Artificial Atmosphere in Space Stations?

Question

Every day at night I always look up into the stars and wonderif its possible to have a space station with artificial Atmosphere so there could be rain and snow and droughts just like earth? After pondering it for a couple of days i started to believe that it definitly could happen. I happened to watch Gundam Seed with the naturals and coordinators bc. they lived in the artificial atmosphere stations. After years of battling(cartoons are signs of future progress) if our military increased its production could it happen. But then the Saiyens had their planet destroyed along with Naruto who lives on a new world then ours. is there a way? In conclusion I feel that Canadians are simply retarded and lazy!!!!

Answer 1

In an artificial atmosphere there is likely to be problems with condensation such as cooled water creating "sweat" all over the electronics and keypads BUT, it is highly unlikely and in many cases impossible to have an artificial atmosphere where there is rain, snow, etc unless you specifically force the computer to produce it.

Rain and snow are various types of water forms that occur do to dew point temperatures, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure.

In a space station, the air will be controlled so that you will have a very uniform low humidity throughout the station as well as a very stable 14 pound/square inch atmospheric pressure.

The various factors in Earth's atmophere contribute to the weather's variations. You won't get the same type of chaotic environment in a highly controlled setting.


A drought in a space station would happen if the devices that recycle air and water broke down - there would be no more water - inhabitants would die.

Rain would happen if you programmed the computers to raise the humidity to meet the dew point temperature.

Of course, gravity is another factor. If the station was in 0 gravity, rain would simply form everywhere and float through the station rather than fall.

Don't confuse reality with cartoons or anime.

An artificial atmosphere system inside a Space Station is possible, and has been written about by many science fiction authors. One of the best is Rendezvous with Rama, by Arthur C. Clarke. Barnes and Nobel sells it for $8.00 at: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/results.asp?WRD=Rendezvous+with+Rama&z=y

In the book he describes a rotating cylindrical space station. In the middle of the station is a cylindrical sea. Running across the floor are large light panels, and the interior of the station is heated to Earth normal temperatures. The water evaporates and forms clouds along the centerline of the cylinder. It then rains down on the inside of the cylinder where the crops are grown. In the various Gundam series this is how the space stations work. They use solar heating panels to provide heat and power for the colony. Instead of light panels they use windows with sunlight reflected inside the space colony from mirrors. If the station rotates then it has centrifugal force created “gravity.” Of course this makes the mirrors harder to position, and looking out of a window will make a person dizzy. In that case a de-coupler will be used with the station rotating. Internal light panels will be required. The solar panels will be fixed on the non-rotating part of the station, which would also be the space dock.

Then you start to ramble in strange directions. Yes warfare can increase production. During war there is an increase in development of new products, mostly weapon related. Some of these new products can be used in the civilian world. That’s how radar became more than a military weapon. After the war is over the increased production needed to wage the war can now be diverted into the civilian economy. That’s exactly what happened after WWII.

The Saiyens and the Dragon Balls have nothing to do with any of this. Nor does Naruto and his village of Ninjas. I have no idea why you are insulting the Canadians. Who happen to be some very good people, an excellent trading partner, a partner in space exploration, and the major source oil in the US economy. Are you just trying to get people mad? Or do you want to know if anyone else watches Cartoon Network?

Answer 3

I'm sure that very few Canadians would agree with your final statement. But surely that is just a personal prejudiced opinion.

You should be able, if you are not too retarded and lazy to create your own artificial atmosphere with a terrarium here on earth. To do it in space, you would need to uplift more weight than is economically feasible at the present. However, given time, it could be done.

Answer 4

While Biosphere II was a failure overall, it helped us by showing us what things he had not taken into account.

We look at the failure, adjust our way of thinking and then try again. Eventually we will get it right.

As for the best example of an artificial atmosphere, I reccommend the work of Larry Niven's Ringworld.

Answer 5

The only attempt that I know of to re-create such an environment was "biosphere II". Unfortunately, although the scientific community learned quite a bit from the project, overall it pretty much turned out to be a dismal failure.

Answer 6

inspite of what grew to become into speculated for a protracted time, the moon in basic terms has no economic reward previous the advances made on the time technologically for determining to purchase there. The computers used to get there in the 70s easy in assessment to a prevalent consumer-friendly cellular telephone of immediately. it is now believed that Carbon 13, adequate on the moon and uncommon on earth, could symbolize a extensive source of destiny potential desires so a return there to mine it is effective. besides, utilising the moon as a leaping off factor for a visit to Mars could instruct useful sooner or later (inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it is not possibly that effective pondering the distances between the Earth, the moon and Mars). it is spending a brilliant sort of money for little to no reward so there is not any thank you to construct a sensible fee-reward sort.

What you are saying is true, but they still make the best beer in North America.

Answer 8

eh no u r lazy and retarded.....god....

Answer 9

are you by any chance schizophrenic?
