    You have a few choices:

    - - Take it out of Earth's atmosphere.

    - - Put it in a tank where you pumped all the air out of it.

    You can put whatever you want back in the tank, just

    as long as there's no oxygen in there.

    - - Besides oxygen, rusting also needs water. The humidity

    (water vapor) in the air is enough to do it. So if you can

    keep the air totally, totally dry around the iron, then the

    oxygen alone won't make it rust.

    - - All these choices do the same thing: Make sure that

    oxygen and water vapor can't reach the iron. The easy

    way to do that is to paint or spray something onto the

    surface of the iron that keeps the air away from it.

    Put the iron where there are no oxygen, like space, the moon, the ISS, or put it underground compact dirt will kee all oxygen away, make sure where you bury it that it is completely dry.
