complicate living arrangements, including the use of food and hygiene
facilities. It would also caus...e the consumables to be depleted at a
much higher rate.
Some of the resources on board Tiangong, such as water, are expected to

but it's possible that the on-board systems would have trouble dealing
with the waste products of three people." Since we haven't been looking at "waste products" as resources all of our designs and current technology is hamstrung by them. I suggest a rethink... larger crews theoretically (given the almost infinite energy supply up there) should cause the consumables to be depleted at a much slower rate. EO Wilson's species-area relationships in island biogeography sugge...
