Re: An idle thought: Reducing life support load
Yes but the percentage of oxygen is not breathed in by any indiviual, thus that once they run out of their percentage they expire tipping the balance. If there is more CO2 being generated than oxygen, the humans will go along breathing enough until the total amount of oxygen is depeleted at which time the humans will all drop dead enmasse. This all of course avoids the issue that if the atmosphere is an equal amount of CO2 to Oxygen neither species should be able to breathe properly, I think.

Re: An idle thought: Reducing life support load
If there is too much oxygen and too little carbon dioxide, you just need to start a nice fire inside the ship to restore balance.
Maybe when you go on a spacewalk, you don't need to carry any tanks of air on your back. You just go in pairs, one human and one phong, and have a tube connecting the two spacesuits.
