return ship can produce liquid methane and LOX from the CO2 atmosphere

ships.
Yes, just keep sending reactors until you have enough power, however
that is not going to be cheap.
Well, we've moved from "not possible" to "possible but not cheap".
Progress!
liar. YOU have not shown, nor demonstrated, that it is possible.
It is obviously possible to transport a reactor to Mars.
The question is how is it to be done; lots of small assembled reactors,
large reactors in pieces, something in between?
Likely one would want to ship the fuel separately, perhaps all in one
shipment to minimize the red tape of putting nuclear material on a rocket.
