I think there are two sabatier main chains. they deal with CO2 processing. CO2 + H (iron catalyst + Heat) --> CH4 + H2O CO2 (IRON catalyst and heat) --> O2 and C. Its a real old well understood prociess. BTW Freedom decided not to use methane thrusters. so instead they are throwing out waste CO2 and importing hydrazine. failure oriented management wins again. someone thought methane thrusters were too risky. pat
