> Lets say the Sun is a flaming ball of hydrogen and space is actually just liquid nitrogen wouldn't it be possible to recreate a mini Sun on the ISS in Space with a small hydrogen reactor?

no, the problem with small scale fusion is the fact naturally occurring fusion takes place because of the effects of gravitation on all that matter confined to a small (relatively) area. only once we've learned alot more about gravity will we be able to make small scale fusion a thing.
we need to be pursuing cold fission, not fusion.

Vessels containing liquid nitrogen can condense oxygen from air. The liquid in such a vessel becomes increasingly enriched in oxygen (boiling point 90 K; −183 °C; −298 °F) as the nitrogen evaporates, and can cause violent oxidation of organic material.
> With liquid Nitrogen generating the Oxygen needed to sustain a steady burn could this not work in theory?

Space isn't liquid nitrogen.
The sun isn't a flaming ball of hydrogen.
You can't create a mini sun because the conditions in the sun require a lot of mass.
We are trying to create fusion reactors: ITER is the EU one, germany has their own science project with a big crazy twisted chamber, northrop grumann is trying to create a small one, other groups are trying other ways to make them.
Hobbyists create Farnsworth Fusors that do actual fusion, but they consume more power than they generate.

can't get past that coulomb barrier with small bits of gravity.

There is no gravity only air pressure. Gravity is a misunderstood force and the number one down fall on all counts. The human concept of gravity is what has held back progress for 200 + years.

Space is Liquid Nitrogen. Site prof that it is not.

if you can dream it you can do it

Cite.
I'm not digging up a citation for someone that can't spell citation. Interstellar space has something like 2 hydrogen atom per km^3.

What are you even saying?
