| Jun 29, 2020 at 20:21 | comment | added | Innovine | definitely not hydrogen, it will be abundant in water ice. | |
| Jun 29, 2020 at 4:27 | comment | added | Wesley Botham | 1) This is a great discussion all around and 2) I imagine using hydrogen to breathe fire as a party trick is less exciting and more utterly terrifying if you live in a space station. | |

| Jun 28, 2020 at 22:27 | comment | added | Loren Pechtel | @Willk Liquid helium cooling for superconducting magnets. Your local MRI machine, for example. | |
| Jun 28, 2020 at 22:27 | comment | added | Loren Pechtel | I disagree on helium--you obtain this by scooping from gas giants, not from terrestrial planets. | |
| Jun 28, 2020 at 21:40 | comment | added | Rodolfo Penteado | @Mark I have no idea about the OP story, but hydrogen as fuel to fusion nuclear reactors spread in thousands of space colonies, more as propelent to move ships of different sizes may make the amounts of hydrogen in small bodies a bit few. Plus, Saturn has gravity similar to Earth and looks like perfect to one Lando Carlissan's Cloud City. Maybe even witha a Theme Park too, Saturn rings are perfect to mimetize that asteroid field of Hoth. | |
| Jun 28, 2020 at 20:49 | comment | added | Willk | Why would these miners need helium? They can fill party balloons with hydrogen. Which is more exciting because there are birthday candles so when you do squeaky breath you can also blow flames! | |
| Jun 28, 2020 at 20:35 | comment | added | Mark | Hydrogen may be on astroids in water ice or other molecules; I feel Helium is the better example. | |
