You could web surt to find the answer. NASA's website may be a place to start.
The real question isn't will we be able to live in space and save earth. The real question should be how long before we mess up space like we have the earth?

The whole question of life elsewhere comes down to two questions: 1. How difficult is it for life to come into existence out of non-life. 2. How unique is the Earth's environment and its environmental history. The first question addresses whether, given the right environment, would it be likely that life would start up anywhere. We suspect that the answer to that question is Yes. The reason is that the more we look, the more precursors to life we find. The more we look the more we find very early evidence of life on earth. It happened right away. The question of life elsewhere in our solar system is probably the most important question that all of our space exploration is aimed at answering. The second question addresses the nurturing of primitive life into complex organisms. On Earth (our only example) it took 3 billion years to come up with man. For 2.5 billion of those years life was single celled. The environment on Earth was very constant over that 3 billion year time span. Is it likely that such a planet would exist elsewhere in the universe? The numbers of stars are staggering so it might seem a virtual certainty - but the Earth has developed life and as far as we know Mars and Venus have not. And they seem like very similar planets. It is more complicated than just “Earth like planets.” For instance, our sun, Sol, has over the last 3 billion years increased its output by about 25% due to normal stellar evolution. That is an enormous change in output and without some compensation factor the Earth would have gone from an ice ball to a barren Venus like planet over that time. It didn't- but we don't know what the factor or factors were that caused such a constant environment.

Consider that u are already in space on the best spaceship I can think of . The earth has been recycling things for a million years or so,and doing a marvelous job. All this fear is not accomplishing anything. If we had a problem this is not the solution. CO2 should be the Major contribution to global warming,but it is not. The green plants are taking good care of it. The earth doesnt need your help and from what I hear most of the time it is completly out of your control. The ozone layer is caused by the solar winds and the earth's magnetic field and u cant change either.

NASA is sponsoring research to determine the viability of living on the moon and mars, for example. The idea is that changes are made to produce an atmosphere and climate able to support life, including man. So far the view is It is possible, but will cost vast amounts of money, and take decades or centuries for the changes necessary to take place.
The next generation of space shuttle will be used to build a big space station that will orbit the earth, The space station will act as a jumping off point the get to mars. The reason for this is to avoid the weight and cost of rocketry required to escape the earth's gravitational pull.

The International Space Station is a step in that direction but vital functions have yet to be tested in space, such as reproduction (conception, pregnancy and child development). Many people have theorized on different structures to use in space. A popular location for some of these outposts are the Lagrangian points.

You could if your intellectual level had kept up with your technological development. Over the centuries, your planet was a curious place to visit once or twice and was not considered very interesting . Sure, your wars showed us how undeveloped you are as a species and your infantile,(in cosmic terms) dependence on god concepts does not bode well for you. We are now showing an interest in you because it is not often that we get to observe a species commit suicide. You are so close to maturing as a sentient species and it will be a shame to see you kill yourselves. There are just not enough of you becoming rational enough to force the issue. You let the least among you determine your fate, so be it.

I don't think we can live off earth. Humans are dependent on the resources we have here. We're dependent on the sun for our food, we're dependent on the earth for our water. The gravity on the earth is what gives us the lives we have. We might be able to have a short time period off earth, but we would still be dependent on earth for supplies. It's not impossible, but it's not likely to be a good idea to permanently colonize space without continued resources from earth.

Only if we can find a way to stop the sun from dying out. That's the only way to save Earth from destruction.

everything is possible if u want to do.our world is comfortable for living to us. but at the very beginning it was not , after a long time it became prepare for living. so it is possible to live outer space .but for that we have to make ourselves prepare For that. and for that we have to change our physical characteristics or have to change the outer space. so it is a long process o work. and i hope onr day it will occur but may we will not see it.

yes it is possible to live in mars but not in space it is only possibe by means of artifcial machines as peaple require oxygen and there is no o2 in space and 0 gravity
