A new space habitat is being designed that might one day be able to be 90 to 95 percent self-sufficient. The Australian made space habitat would save tons of money and trouble by eliminating the need to constantly resupply humans on Mars or the Moon. It would also allow for humans to have longer more extended stays and even open up a chance for colonization. Some of the air and water recycling systems are currently being tested on the international space station. These systems are not only valuable in space but could also prove to be very valuable here on earth as our resources are becoming more precious. The space habitat would be able to support a team of twelve humans for up to three years. So if you have always wanted to live on Mars your chance may be coming sooner than you think!
