    Default Life in space

    I am looking for info to estimate detailed amount of energy involved in every process of a space colony or a spacecraft. Here is some reference information.

    Space Settlements: A Design Study

    Life Support

    There are some processes that are endothermic and some exothermic.
    So the amount of energy needed will not be just like energy requirements of electronics.
    I am mostly concerned about recycling of energy, and how much energy needs to be consumed or radiated to space.

    Alright, gonna have to find my slide rule.....
    The Rules
    Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
    Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
    Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)

    A small nuclear reactor will gave you pretty much set for anything.

    But what kind of "colony" or "craft" are you talking about?
