06. How would we make a fire in space? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

To make fire you need fuel, oxygen, and a spark or heat source. So you can make a fire inside a spaceship that has a supply of oxygen. But in space where there is no air and therefore very little or no oxygen, you cannot make a fire.
