I have read The Case For Mars and I know using in-situ resources is a wonderful idea. I can't wait for the day humans are on Mars and when we do land there making fuel for the return is the only way to go. Obviously. I also just happen to see a lot of merit in establishing a base on one of its moons first. Establishing a large inflatable habitat there first would serve as the "ultimate command module" if you will.
