SS-H2

Last week, h/t ToughSF, we got steel electrolysis. Where iron is less expensive than titanium (unlike our moon), and we really need the hydrogen - this is your baby. Its deal is that it resists corrosion (hey now hey now now). The secret ingredient is manganese which, I think, can be had from brines.

Mingxin Huang is Hong Kong's man of steel. He and Elon really have to meet. Maybe to figure out how this even works; manganese shouldn't work. Some quantum thing I guess.

Apparently it works in/on acids as well, which is great for the Venereal clouds where, er, iron is less expensive than titanium. And it's all acid.
