Creating Earth-like Conditions Vital for Human Survival in Space, Study Finds

Humans will need to create Earth-like conditions to survive for long periods in space, according to a new study by American researchers. The study focused on issues such as dealing with gravity and oxygen in space, collecting water, developing agriculture, and getting rid of waste in space. The researchers propose that space mission planners seek to find ways “to recreate the same evolutionary, ecological, networks that make Earth successful.”

Creating Earth-Like Ecosystems Vital for Deep Space Survival, Scientists Say

Scientists argue that for humans to survive on lengthy treks into deep space, missions must recreate Earth-like ecosystems, including Earth-like gravity and oxygen, reliable sources of water, as well as societal systems like steady agricultural output and the recycling of waste. The theory, called "pancosmorio," takes a holistic approach to the problem of human survivability and backs it up within an evolutionary context. The crux of the pancosmorio theory is that humanity has made it this far under certain conditions, and a failure to model those conditions off-world will likely serve to doom a deep space mission.
