>>11663818What do you think developing and sending up machinery for separating water out of the atmosphere on Mars will cost for instance?
Sabatier processors? Any other chemical processors?
All of that shit will be developed here, built here launched and sent off. Shit recyclers, hydroponics, regular gardenic stuff, you name it. Stuff like that costs time and money to be researched, developed, built and shipped off.
And nobody's gonna want to rely on fucking tesla batteries on Mars. If that shit breaks down, what the fuck are you gonna do? Wait for the next shipment? No, you'll want something mechanical that you can fix.
So you're gonna need a combustion engine that'll work in the thin atmosphere and that's gonna need R&D, which is more time and money.
See where this is going?
