compared to Earth's atmosphere, yes. but not really in short supply. On the order of 1% of mass of a typical asteroid will be nitrogen compounds. It will take a substantial amount of work to get them out, though, but that's mostly a matter of suppyling energy. And that's not a problem in a setting where you can get there. -- David Scheidt [email protected] _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
