| Dec 27, 2022 at 20:54 | comment | added | J.G. | Global fluorine production is 17 kt per annum (although we mine much more in the way of fluorine compounds), which is slightly more than what you're after, but Mars has only a quarter of Earth's surface. I've seen vastly smaller estimates of the pressure requirement, as little as 3 microPascals, but the annual production required for homeostasis would be about 10 times Earth's current production. | |
