This chapter outlines why an extraterrestrial environment can be considered an Extreme Environment (EE) and how extreme environments entail demands that cannot be ignored or underestimated. Habitability considerations for such conditions are vastly impacted. A discussion of how the general envelope of human factors and habitability are affected by the unique characteristics of Isolated and Confined Extreme Environments (ICEs) is presented with an emphasis on the costs of not including habitability as a critical design component. Basic assumptions, the selection of examples used throughout the book and sources of information are identified.
