This all depends on your maps. A copy of minecraft that has no started maps is around 228KB. But after you start playing this will go up.
Between 19.45 to 25.46 mb
The Minecraft Launcher is 263 KB while the Minecraft folder is approximately 46 MB.
The download for Minecraft for the PC is around 300kb. Installed, it will be approximately 30 - 40 mb depending on how many save files you have. It is not any bigger than an audio CD.
It uses about 10 megabytes per hour if playing on downloaded version but when playing on the website version it takes about 20-30 megabytes.
minecraft can use anywhere between 256 MB and 512MB of ram on any system.

yes you can.
Yes. Minecraft barely takes up any space at all, only a few Megabytes in total.

Minecraft uses a load of memory! (For me, it's 989 MB of RAM) You should probably close Minecraft if you're using Skype at the same time.
The latest version of Minecraft 1.8 (10/24/2014) is under 20 Megabytes but increases in size as you play, the world is infinitely growing as you explore so the size of the game can be quite different for two people.
The Minecraft game itself is very lightweight when it comes to hard drive space. Mine rang in at about 7 megabytes and that's including the backups I make of the files. Needless to say, the only think you will probably be limited on is your video card performance, not your hard drive space unless you plan on walking on a straight line for a few weeks on end.
It requires very little space, maybe around 15 MB to start, but can get up into the gig's if you have a lot of different world saves. The single player world saves are in your ".minecraft" folder ("Application Support/ minecraft" for Mac).
