Hmm, scientists could use plasma technology to create oxygen in Mars and other space colonies.

Using novel plasma reactors, researchers have shown that it is possible to extract key ingredients from Mars’ carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere to provide future astronauts with oxygen, fuel and fertiliser. This technological leap could make it viable for humans to live on Mars.
