They've imagined and tried to create a little piece of Earth in a bubble travelling through space, inside of which people could live for decades, centuries, or even millennia. Far Beyond the Moon tells the dramatic story of engineering efforts by astronauts and scientists to create artificial habitats for humans in orbiting space stations, as well as on journeys to Mars and beyond. Along the way, David P. D. Munns and Ka?rin Nickelsen explore the often unglamorous but very real problem posed by long-term life support: How can we recycle biological wastes to create air, water, and even food in meticulously controlled artificial environments? Together, they draw attention to the unsung participants of the space program-the sanitary engineers, nutritionists, plant physiologists, bacteriologists, and algologists who created and tested artificial environments for space based on chemical technologies of life support-as well as the bioregenerative algae systems developed to reuse waste, water, and nutrients, so that we might cope with a space journey of not just a few days, but months, or more likely, years"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aIntersections (Pittsburgh, Pa.) 606 $aInterplanetary voyages 606 $aLife support systems (Space environment) 606 $aManned space flight 615 0$aInterplanetary voyages. 615 0$aLife support systems (Space environment) 615 0$aManned space flight. 676 $a629.47/709 700 $aMunns$b David P.
