gollark: Terrestrial housing gets breathable air and some degree of temperature control "for free".
gollark: It'll probably be a while before there are actually space habitats that big, and more having to be done technologically probably means more failures.
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.
