   Air, Water ??   
      
        try to think it through.   
      
             man needs 500 liters of O2 per day   
        there are 10 men up there, 2 are needed to run the O2 plant, and 2   
   are needed to run the Water plant, and 2 are needed to run the N2 plant.   
      
   so your O2 flow rate is 5,000 liters per day,   
   your N2 flow rate is 15,000 liters per day (assume a 25% O2)   
   and about 7.5 liters of water per day per person   
      
   so how many tons rocks do you cook per day ?   
   How much energy is needed to run the rock cooking plant?   
   What type of rocks work for O2 that are on the surface ?   
      
   where do you get  24 liters of water per day ? (assume a 25% recapture rate)   
      
   Biofilm questions: where does the lost water go? will the biofilm cause   
   dammage to the electronics?  How much energy is used to keep the   
   Humidity down to below 70% ?   
      
   how do you reprocess the salt bath used for cooking the rocks ?   
      
   What rocks do you cook to get N2 ???
