re: Refueling Mars Rovers...

Hi

Not a bad idea at all, but would involve a nuclear reactor to make the fuel because nothing else has the power/mass ratio needed to make enough fuel in a reasonable time.

Ideally some sort of advanced internal-combustion engine would be best or a fuel-cell (once their power/mass ratio comes down a bit more) run off electrolysed water from polar ice maybe?
