It's not that it's difficult here. I just don't think people are interested in the effort.

Hydroponics could be the worst part - think how many people struggle to grow stuff here on Earth.
I didn't even think that they probably would be constructing multiple buildings there (because it would suck to continue living in a 5-man capsule) - hydroponics to support 5 people probably requires a decent size building well beyond their spacecraft.. The plants probably take care of the oxygen requirement, too. Still not sure what they do about water.O-Trap;1410112 wrote: It's not that it's difficult here.

I would think they'd need to create some sort of terrarium large enough to handle the water cycle, which could theoretically handle the water with a small enough population maybe.gut;1410154 wrote:I didn't even think that they probably would be constructing multiple buildings there (because it would suck to continue living in a 5-man capsule) - hydroponics to support 5 people probably requires a decent size building well beyond their spacecraft..
