In order for extensive round trip travel to become feasible in terms of mass required in low Earth orbit, propellant manufacturing at Mars becomes essential. Martian resources lend themselves to relatively easy generation of several promising propellant combinations. Not only manned missions but also smaller unmanned missions such as sample return may benefit from this technology.
