The Perseverance rover used an instrument known as MOXIE, or Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, which super-heated the carbon dioxide to chemically cleave it, producing about 5 grams of pure O2 – about enough for an astronaut to breathe for 10 minutes, according to NASA.

However, Moxie was great when it applied to describing girls we knew...
Just remembering a little from the 1940's & 1950's...
