Is Moxie a Clean Energy Technology on Mars?
The Moxie instrument is a demonstration mission designed to prove that we can produce your oxygen on the surface of Mars. It's like a small battery sized thing that produces oxygen from CO2 in the same way that trees do. Right now it's very, very small and wouldn't even be able to make enough oxygen for one human at scale. But still, it's a technology and it exists and NASA's testing it out on Mars.
