To power the suit a 500 Watt fuel cell array is used.  This requires the use of 290 grams
of hydrogen along with 2.335 kg of oxygen each day.  10 days uses a small fraction of
one tank system described above.   And produces 2.62 liters of water per day.  Enough
to sustain the person within the long-duration suit.  Since every 4.83 kg of oxygen uses
1.00 kg of hydrogen in the rocket system, using 8.00 kg of oxygen for every 1.00 kg of
oxygen in this way, leaves an additional 656 grams of hydrogen un-reacted.   This
hydrogen is used in a sabatier reactor to absorb 3.6 kg of CO2 per day producing an
additional 2.95 liters of water per day and 1.3 kg of methane per day.  The methane gas
is liquified and evaporated from the system along with the waste water to provide
temperature control. 1.0 kg of oxygen is also breathed by the astronaut. This leaves
another 207 grams of spare hydrogen. This absorbs an additional 1.1kg of CO2
producing an additional liter of water and an additional 410 grams of methane each day.
The user produces 1.4 kg of CO2 per day
