Small Device Currently on Mars Is Generating as Much Oxygen as a Tree

[5.56NATO]

If you thought packing the car for a cross-country move was hard, packing a space shuttle for a move to Mars will be a new kind of headache. In addition to bringing items like food and water, spaceships heading to the red planet will also need to bring scientific experiments, emergency supplies, and living habitats.
Luckily for these pioneering astronauts though, it looks like one of the heaviest—and most important—resources will be provided on site: oxygen. In fact, a lunchbox-sized device currently on the surface of Mars is already reliably generating as much oxygen as a tree, scientists revealed on Wednesday.

I shouldn't have to tell you guys what terraforming leads to.

Sooo, they will need to haul several million lunch box oxygen generators to mars...
And I can't even find a reasonably priced PS5
Here on earth...

HAHA Yes it will lead to that. Interesting but didn't Matt Damon in the martian already figure out how to survive on Mars?

This is great news... so after about 3 million years and a couple of dozen ice ages coming and going, there will be enough breathable air on Mars to send the climate change nuts.
