About
Hi and welcome to Settle the Solar System, a Lunar Homestead podcast.This episode goes over the One Standard Lunar Homestead Atmosphere and how I got to it. The most critical feature of a Lunar Homestead (and any Homestead) pressure hull is that it safely and effectively contains the atmosphere of the habitat. Pretty obvious, right? So, let’s determine exactly what atmospheric pressure and composition our Homesteaders need.Segments[00:00] - Intro[01:10] - One Standard Atmosphere[04:29] - 100% oxygen atmosphere[08:42] - Other buffer gases[12:22] - Skylab atmosphere[14:08] - Newsletter reminder[14:47] - Fire risk[14:47] - One Standard Lunar Homestead Atmosphere[17:39] - Needed research[20:50] - Listener Question - When will the average person live on the Moon?[24:22] - OutroKey pointsA 100% oxygen atmosphere isn't going to work.Homesteaders will need a breathing gas that is mostly nitrogen, just like on Earth.The One Standard Lunar Homestead Atmosphere is 78% nitrogen/21% oxygen at 70.11 kPa.The only way we're going to see Lunar settlement in our lifetime is if we create the Frontier-Enabling Technology and Techniques needed to make it a reality.
