On Mars, they are going to launch the production of rocket fuel from microbes
Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have proposed a concept following which bacteria delivered to Mars will be able to produce rocket fuel and liquid oxygen from the CO2 available there. The resulting fuel will be useful for refueling the spacecraft to return to Earth. Techcult has studied in detail the scientists' article in the journal Nature.
