What would happen if there was a breach in the containment of air?

[ReelNASA]

The crew routinely trains for emergencies such as that. Depending on the severity of the leak and amount of time available, they would close the hatches between the modules and evacuate to the safety of their Soyuz spacecraft.

Tell us how the space station works, the process of adding a new wing if a new one was needed or a country wanted to get involved. What about food and sleeping patterns? What are some of the safety features, what about passing time when bored or just lots of random stuff.

You can follow along with the daily activities of the station crew by watching the ISS Update videos we post to this channel. Some of your other questions can be answered if you check out the ISS website.

rather than killing someone kill your other interest and start studying!

I believe they actually scrub the O2 out of CO2. It's fairly complicated, but they can do quite a bit up there, including purify and reuse waste water found in urine and collected from the air.

Would the ISS be considered the "prototype" of the city in space?

[PerfectSerenity]

Australia, why you no get involved in anything? D:

[PLaris89]

I'm assuming that O2 is sent up there along with other essentials?
