gollark: If they fail on a space habitat, I probably die horribly and can't easily get help from somewhere nearby.
gollark: If the power or water supply fail here, I'll probably be somewhat uncomfortable until they're restored, but be basically fine, at least as long as they're available somewhere not too far away.
gollark: No, the requirements on a space habitat are higher.
gollark: I probably don't want to be somewhere which relies on infrastructure continuously flawlessly operating for me to not die, considering.
gollark: That would probably be hard to run in real time on-device and would probably not matter if you're exploiting it anyway.
