Surviving in the vacuum of space isn’t easy—far from it. Humans are creatures of Earth, perfectly adapted to its unique conditions, and when they venture beyond, their survival hinges on replicating those conditions in an environment completely hostile to life. From regulating air composition and temperature to recycling water and managing waste, space stations rely on advanced, interconnected systems to ensure astronauts remain safe and comfortable among the stars. In this episode of Tomorrow’s Universe, join Max as he delves into the engineering marvels and life support systems that make living in space possible. Explore how these technologies pave the way for humanity’s future beyond Earth.
