| May 13, 2022 at 22:30 | comment | added | No Nonsense | @dotancohen It was and is quite obvious that the question's author intended to convey the meaning of obtaining oxygen by liberating it from its compounds via chemical means, rather than manufacturing it via stellar nucleosynthesis. The nitpicking smarty-pants remark at the beginning of your comment thus serves no purpose whatsoever. | |

| Aug 1, 2014 at 17:52 | comment | added | user | Well, even if that approach was used wholesale to make enough oxygen to support a manned base of some kind, there's plenty enough atmosphere to pump the CO into that I don't think you need to worry about Mars explorers dying of carbon monoxide poisoning any time soon. :) | |
| Aug 1, 2014 at 17:13 | comment | added | James Jenkins | @dotancohen I would encourage you to create an answer based on your comment, you might also want to indicate the probability of those now divided elements chances of reforming, and or the health risks of the carbon monoxide to human life. | |
| Aug 1, 2014 at 16:56 | comment | added | dotancohen | They are not "making oxygen", only stars can do that. They are separating one oxygen molecule from CO2, leaving CO and O. Do this twice and you have CO + CO +O2. That is, for every two carbon dioxide molecules you get two carbon monoxide molecules and one gaseous oxygen molecule. | |
