A quick and dirty post here. Here it is: Use a big, dumb rocket to send carbon dioxide into orbit. Why? There has been discussion of processing Martian carbon dioxide into fuel. ( Carbon monoxide and oxygen). Why not do this in Earth orbit or in cis lunar space? It would be a good way to sequester carbon and get fuel into space and to practice these techniques for a future Mars mission. The big dumb rocket can do it cheaply as possible. If anything goes wrong, and the carbon dioxide is released, it is no more harmful ( after it is dispersed) than what it is anyway.
Cracking water is very expensive. This should be cheaper.
