How does Mike eat and breathe?
Surely he's been up there years - where does the food and oxygen come from?
shareJust repeat to yourself "it's just a show, I should really just relax."

The Umbilicus.
shareAH! But the Umbilicus wasn't always there if you remember. I don't remember the episode, but they brought it down to Deep 13 so they could send things back and forth.
And what about when they left Earth Orbit.
And what about when they came back to Earth and never reestablished the Umbilicus.
And what about Scarecrow's Brain!
They stocked up. If you have the DVD of the 1996 movie, check out some of the deleted scenes. In one scene the crew shelters from a meteorite storm in one of the SoL's storage rooms which is full of water barrels and large cans of Hamdingers, beef stew and baked beans. I imagine this would necessitate a pretty good air filtration system as well.
shareSure, over the course of the series they addressed these issues quietly. Mitchell mentioned the Storeroom before the movie and the Air System was mentioned in season three(I count the KTMA23 year as season Zero) if I am not mistaken, but what about Scarecrow's brain?
shareHe doesn't eat and breathe. He just relaxes!
