I saw some film of one guy who'd built a gizmo for making fuel out of atmospheric CO2. And any armchair astronomer could tell you why that's significant for a Martian landing.

You know the "off-the-land" aprroach that was mentioned a dozen times already uses the method.
"I was going to become a speed dealer. If one stupid fairytale turns out to be total nonsense, what does the young man do? If you answered, “Wake up and face reality,” you don’t remember what it was like being a young man. You just go to the next entry in the catalogue of lies you can use to destroy your life." - John Dolan

[color=cc9900]It's something to do with that 'Mars Direct' thing, I think. Making most stuff while you're there instead of taking it with you. Helluva risky, if you ask me.[/color]

Why bother with this Mars Direct thing? Hell, we were planning to send a US-Russian ship a decade or two back, was a given thing. Not sure why it didn't, actually, except that I'd imagine shortly after the USSR went to ****.
