    The system we demonstrated has nearly 100 times the production rate of any Mars in situ propellant production system built to date. It takes us from production levels suitable for a robotic Mars sample return mission to those needed for human missions. #Mars #Space #Sciencehttps://twitter.com/robert_zubrin/status/931219355198779394 …

    The R&D team at Pioneer Energy, a spin-off company of Pioneer Astronautics, has demonstrated a Mars in situ propellant production system scaled to meet the requirements of a human #Mars #exploration mission. …

        We cannot expect to survive on Mars until we establish our ability to survive in a closed artificial ecology in the Antarctic desert.

        No propellant production systems have been built on Mars to date, right? Also, wouldn’t this be be isomorphic with massive onsite energy production for all human purposes? Rocket fuel = electricity, yeah?
