CJ,
I didn't list eliminating the need for pressure suits because I thought it was obvious. Going from a pressure suit to a breathing mask is a huge deal. Being able to grow plants without a pressurized enclosure is a huge deal for a colony. Not having to worry about blowouts is a huge deal.
True, but nuking CO2 deposits just to take a step closer to that outcome is far from a sure thing.

Hence the reason why I still consider that to be data-gathering in a gigantic experiment.
