The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has indicated a goal to develop a futuristic device that would allow humanity to breathe oxygen on Mars as part of its Mars project. This project is part of the agency's Innovative Advanced Concepts initiative.

According to the most recent source, NASA has granted the go signal for early-stage financing of this technology. It would also include the optimal designs for spacesuits suitable for life in space.

NASA Gives Green Light For Oxygen Generator on Mars

The international space agency is working on a technique that will convert the air on Mars into breathing air. This revelation seems like something out of a science fiction novel, yet it's genuinely happening.

6. The ultra rich can always build space stations closer to Earth.

Will be the equivalent of oligarch yachts.

But given events in the last week, the Nuclear Apocalypse is looking like more of a reality. Maybe Mars is not so bad after all.

4. Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martians did this

I wonder if the person at NASA who came up with this idea was inspired by the old John Carter adventure novels.
