Wow, I seriously hate spending a few minutes reading a post, only to suddenly notice that the date is years behind. Radix being in the post, is what completely through me off.

so yeah, we're not going anywhere.
no but you can create it out of hydrogen and oxygen. something completely manageable and doable. a small colonization could be possible but a large scale full planet colonization wont happen for some great time. not to mention the drastic temperature change. i still hate every teacher i ever had that told me that if the earth was any bit closer to the sun we'd all burn or if a bit farther we'd all freeze, yet we can live and travel in space

i was thinking more space stations than suits. if you can have climate control inside a station you could probably build something of biodome status on a planet to live in.
Talk about going to other planets because we spoiled this one always bothers me a bit. It's like throwing your dirty socks away and buying new ones because you're too lazy to wash them.

I agree with you, but cleaning a planet is a little harder then cleaning a sock. Especially when the planet is constantly trying to clean itself, and it's methods are a little more unorthodox, leaning more towards killing as many of us as it can in the process.

Um i don't think you can join those together... Besides You would need a lot of both for that. Hydrogen is pretty common but Oxygen needs organic life to sustain it otherwise it just gets absorbed by things.
I'm pretty sure you need water to start off with.

Not really, if you chose to live somewhere that gets 'washed' often then move. Infact its us that are unorthodox, all those years spent pumping crap into the atmosphere. We pretty deserve whatever happens to us.
its one technology that is trying to replace current fossil fuels.
it takes hydrogen from some sort of storage tank (its downfall because it is currently difficult to store hydrogen in an efficient way) and it uses some sort of electric process (its been awhile since i did a report so id have to look up the name. i want to say electrolosis?) to combine the hydrogen with incoming oxygen. the cell uses the energy created from the process to do whatever is needed. water is a byproduct of the process. all water is is 1 part hydrogen 2 parts oxygen (H2O)
so we could have water and energy. like i said. small colonization. even if we had to bring our own oxygen.

Actually, electrolysis seperates water into hydrogen and oxygen. All it takes to recombine the two is a spark or flame. Also, water is two parts hydrogen one part oxygen. H2 O. One hydrogen two oxygen would be HO2, which if I recall, doesn't exist.
but no shab. simply burning hydrogen and oxygen to make water also causes other byproducts that produce smog. we wouldnt want that. but yes in that water is very easy to make.
