WATER CRISIS !!!

Studies show that the average per capita consumption of water per day is around 250L/day/person!!!
That amounts to about 1.22 million L of water per day for a space city of 20,000 residents.

I worked out that the cost of transporting this water from Earth would be Rs.3.05 X 10^12!!!!!!!!!

So there are THREE major problems::::
1) How to get that much water there???
2) How & where to store this large amt. of water???
3) How to get that much MONEY ????

And remember this is just the money to get water there. Just imagine the amount for people & construction materials ( at a rate of Rs. 25,00,000/kg)!!!!!

Fresh Air and a bit of robotic necesities.

I have made this document about maybe the most basic necessity on Aresam-fresh air.If there are any improvements to be made then please tell me. There are also some objectives and solutions to some of them. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE DOC.

I am really ill so you don't expect much from me right now.I can't attend meetings for the same reason.Click here to refer to the presentation I made earlier for something helpful.But the moment I am well i'll send more info.Expected to be well by tomorrow maybe.I wanted to know what all already has been done so that I could work on the rest instead of doing the same thing over and over again.

Structure 2

Also, the weight of the outer torus is 2,663,000 tonnes. The material used will be 50% Kevlar and 50% Aluminum to minimize weight and thermal expansion. Seebeck effect will be used for creating electricity on a large scale. The angular velocity of the whole structure will 1.83 * e-6 as calculated.
This will yield us with 'g'.

Health & Nutrition

I have posted 2 short docs on space.members on health & nutrition of people in space. It is just a short overview on the problems that afflict people in long-term stays in space. This is in no way the complete report, just an introduction. More on this later...
