Original caption: Is there oxygen on Mars? Technically yes, but it’s nothing like the amount we have on Earth. So breathing on the red planet is out of the question. However, there IS a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) on Mars. Now a new technology — MOXIE — has proven that we can convert Martian CO2 into oxygen for use by future explorers.
