Reply to comment by Tre-Ursus in Nasa wants to build an oxygen pipeline on the moon by FlingingGoronGonads

Oxygen production is quite a bit easier on Mars, as it turns out. We've already produced O2 from the CO2 atmosphere. That's a lot easier than importing oxygen from Earth or extracting it from Lunar rock, as per this NASA proposal.

The oxygen extracted from lunar rock is a byproduct. The main goal is the aluminum, iron, and silicon that's leftover.
