NASA is planning to make water and oxygen on the Moon and Mars by 2020

2014-01-30 19:07:30| Extremetech

NASA is forging ahead with plans to make water, oxygen, and hydrogen on the surface of the Moon and Mars. If we ever want to colonize other planets, it is vital that we find a way of extracting these vital gases and liquids from moons and planets, rather than transporting them from Earth (which is prohibitively expensive, due to Earth's gravity). The current plan is to land a rover on the Moon in 2018 that will try to extract hydrogen, water, and oxygen -- and then hopefully, Curiosity's successor will try to convert the CO2 in the atmosphere into oxygen in 2020 when it lands on Mars.
