I wonder how well the South Pole station would do if they got a only very limited supplies to start with, had to wear pressure suits outside, couldn't afford any air leaks and didn't get supplies for several years.
I'm not sure who down-voted you, but it's an interesting question. However, the South Pole station afaik isn't equipped with the means necessary for self-sustainability, such as being able to recycle bio material. Anyone with more info on this?
