Installing the battery and oxygen tank
this close to each other results in an extremely hazardous condition. We lost three astronauts in the
Apollo 1 fire because of a small spark in an Oxygen environment. Everyone thought beforehand that it was a controlled and safe situation.
The really sad part is that six years before, the Soviets lost a cosmonaut in a ground test when an alcohol swab came into contact with a hot plate causing an intense fire. Because of the space race, they didn't tell the world about their tragedy.
Please reconsider the location of your battery and your Oxygen tank!!!
Oxygen is our friend, but if mistreated, it can become our worst nightmare!

P.S. The more I think about this, the more concerned I get. Granted, airplanes have been flying around for years with O2 systems onboard. But if enough oxygen leaked from a line, valve or regulator and just one spark occurs in the O2 rich environment, then there is a problem. If you think aluminum won't burn, just consider that the FUEL of the Space Shuttle solid rocket boosters is ALUMINUM. That's why the solid rocket boosters' exhaust is so visibly bright. The experimental amateur built certificate of airworthiness gives us a lot of freedom, but with that freedom comes responsibility. If someone will show me a spam can that is certified with an oxygen system as close to the batteries as Mr. Marks' is, then I'll shut up.
