Life on Mars will become easier: Chinese scientists have figured out how to fuel rovers and heat space bases literally "out of nowhere". Experts have created a unique device that converts carbon dioxide into liquid alcohol - methanol. According to the South China Morning Post, this discovery will greatly simplify the lives of future astronauts. The fact is that the atmosphere of Mars consists almost entirely of carbon dioxide, so there are many raw materials there. Scientists explain that the resulting methanol can be used to generate electricity, heat Mars bases and fuel rovers. In addition, it can be used to make antifreeze and other useful liquids. The laboratory tests were successful. The main advantage of the technology is that spacecraft will no longer need to carry tons of fuel from Earth, since it can be produced directly on site.
