Re: One Small Step

Surely you need electolosis. Al, Ti, Mg are all more electronegative
than hydrogen. On Earth Al2O3 is dissolved in cryolyte and Al produced
in a cell. Similarly Ti is produced by reduction of the chloride by
Sodium. A purely electrolytic process might be possible. Sodium is
produced by electroysis either of NaCl or NaOH.

I do not dispute the spirit of what is being said, merely it will have
to be engineered on different principles.
