Solves a big problem. Lots of water on Mars. And not just at the ice caps.
If I were king I would be pre-positioning life-support modules and supply containers on the surface or in orbit, with manned vessels following close behind. I would so like to see people living on or just under the surface, in my lifetime. They’d better hurry.
We think alike. Multilayer inflatable greenhouses would probably be the way to go for the foreseeable, and those could be sent and deployed robotically. Even the planting of the grass could be done robotically. When the first permanent human populations start to arrive, they’d find a living habitat, and would build it out, inflatable dome by inflatable dome.
