Space Habitat

Interesting article on an Australian proposal supposed to yield a 90% efficient closed-cycle habitat for astronauts. Nothing too crazy, most of it building on what appears to be incremental improvements of technologies and practices already available; but the combination of that skill-set into a working habitat is entirely a different thing, so I’m very curious to see how it goes. With that level of efficiency, it’s almost to suggest we could actually make semi-permanent bases on the moon and/or mars practicable.

I think it’s a great idea…
