Yup. Exactly. I just tossed the cryo-scrubber out as a paridigm shift example, just let your mind wander and consider that things do change.

Ya'll might want to look at this, though. "PLSS" means "Personal Life Support System", meaning "Man Worn", not "vehicle mounted". We're talking BACKPAK here, guys.....

Short quote:

"A breadboard cryogenic carbon dioxide scrubber (Cryo Scrubber) for a closed loop cryogenic PLSS was developed, designed, and tested, and a conceptual design suitable for a PLSS was developed based on the results of the breadboard testing. The Cryo Scrubber freezes CO2 and other trace contaminants out of expired vent loop gas using cooling available from a liquid oxygen (LOX) based PLSS. The device is continuously regenerable, with solid CO2 being removed from the cold freeze-out surfaces, sublimated, and vented overboard. Duration is limited only by the supply of LOX stored in the PLSS. Simplicity, reliability, and operability are universally important criteria for critical hardware on long duration Lunar or Mars missions. The Cryo Scrubber has no moving parts, requires no additional consumables, and uses no electrical power, contributing to its simplicity and reliability. It is easy to use; no operator action is required to prepare, use, or shut down the Cryo Scrubber, and it does not require charging or regeneration. The versatility of the concept allows for operation on earth, the moon, and Mars, and in microgravity."

I'm gonna dive that sucker one year!

Sounds like cold fusion to me.

No recharging, No consumables, No Electricity. Hmmm... LOL... Should be able to power a 65 GTO with True Spokes too then. Love to see that driving around on Mars Mission. Pickin up some Martian hotties..

But, never know.

I've seen a kryolang before. Kinda cool. Come on, I wanna see somebody dive one.

Just don't say "Watch This" right before you use it. LOL... That's the last words of a Red Neck. LOL... Which has gotten me into trouble a bunch of times. LOL.... As I said it.

What was the duration on those? I know they were tested. But, so was nuclear fallout on St. Louis. Sprayed from planes for testing. Nice of our Government wasn't it..
