is it possible for human beings to inhabit outer space?

Question

scientist keep making trips to space, and the world keeps developing, is this possible

Answer 1

While this is technically a tiny space colony already in the International Space Station (ISS), humans can't stay for years just in space. The heart takes its toll if an astronaut stays out there to long. Until we can make the sci-fi "artificial gravity floor plates" (like in Star Trek) I doubt we will ever colonize space or the moon anytime soon. And Mars only has 1/4 of Earth's gravity, so no Martian beach parties for you little green guys either!

Answer 2

Yes, by creating an artificial biosphere which can be just a small bubble or a complete planet, depending on the technologies and the resources available on site.
Actually the International Space Station is just that, an artificial biosphere allowing the astronauts to survive and work without wearing space suits.
Just imagine the same thing on a much larger scale, but to achieve that most of the necessary materials and resources must be produced on site. It is quite impossible to transport all that will be needed from the Earth.

Answer 3

Don't quote me on this, but I believe I read somewhere that the lack of gravity has some negative effects on the body. As Mr. PePervin said, however, the International Space Station has been constantly manned since 2000. So apparently the effects aren't life threatening. I'd be curious to know how they exercise in space to stay healthy, since every movement requires so little energy in zero gravity. You probably wouldn't need nearly as many calories a day. But I could be wrong.

Answer 4

ok, here we go,
we coyuld possibly inhabit outer space in the future but not just yet...
the problem lyes due to the distance of planets in or out of our solar system...it would take us far too much time to get to any possible inhabitation sites since you are reffering to "outer space"
because our tecnology does not enable us to support a maned spacecraft which can travel for such a long period of time to get anywhere possible.
Technicaly if we discovered a planet able to support life(with water on it's surface and an atmosphere stable enough) and were able to have the technologythings would be pretty easy!!!
Now if we try to create a facility somewhere near it will need constant maintenance and supplies like the one NASA has in plans to built on the moon. The cost will be unbearable macroeconomically speaking.
Lack of gravity whatsoever does not cause serious heatlh problems on the contrary it helps humans maintain themselfs in good shape due to the lack of friction of joints and general state of being...The problem starts to affect us when it comes to food. astronaults in space missions eat many different kinds of food most of them in pills and complements which causes their systems to adjust in a certain amount of food daily in a form which helps them absorb all the nessesary vitamins and elements clean without many "waste" ...thats what i can tell tyou roughly

Answer 5

U are already there. This earth is one of the best space ships ever. We don't control where it is going and etc. but seeing how some of us drive that might be a good thing.

Answer 6

They do, the ISS. It's been manned since 2000. (Every day there is someone there.) Yours truly,

Mervin DePervin

I think they exercise using latex strips. (They use them here on Earth for physical therapy.) You can pull and stretch it and it gives you resistance. As far as cardio, I think they use exercise bikes strapped to the ISS. (Might have just been an experiment in space though.)

Answer 7

No because of limited oxygen supply.

Answer 8

i totally say that it is possible, but it's too expensive and dangerous

Answer 9

YES , IF THE CONDITIONS OF LIFE IS POSSIBLE

Answer 10

not possible.
