gollark: Oh, for making air not free I figure there's a simpler way than removing half the oxygen. Just introduce large amounts of some bad poison.
gollark: That's *probably* easier than somehow drilling to the mantle/core and then reacting the iron there with oxygen.
gollark: The problem is that either way you need a lot of stuff to react all the oxygen with, or to send it off into space somehow.
gollark: And apparently has a mass of 1e23 kg, so *easily* enough to react the entire atmosphere's oxygen with, if you can get some of it out.
gollark: So also according to Wikipedia, the core is 89% iron.
