Reply to comment by Dragmire_Afterlife in NASA is now making oxygen on Mars by JumpinKing

This isn't terraforming so much as it is a proof of concept for ability to take what thin atmosphere of carbon dioxide is there and using it to make oxygen for any terrarium people that may end up living there. Or oxidizer for rocket fuel.

The Kurzgesagt video on Venus is a rather interesting terraforming idea if you haven't seen it already.

Right. OP acknowledges that this isn't terraforming, but one of the first steps into being able to do so.

I too think it is exciting.
