Default The first human mars mission?

A related issue, if you're making cryogenic fuels from CO2,
is making sure that the fuels don't have any significant CO2
contamination. CO2 is a solid at cryo temperatures, it can clog
plumbing, and filtering it out of liquids like LOX is notoriously
difficult.


Wouldn't reasonable amounts of it dissolve in liquid oxygen, and stay
dissolved, rather than ever condensing out?
