This look really science fiction. The idea is intriguing, but it requires a high level production facility in very remote conditions. Nowadays, we merely get it managed to send a semi autark robo car – but a multi step production line is too sensitive to failure of one component. Here on earth, we can get everything fixed. On mars, this is it and the whole project is doomend if only one component fails.
When we finally colonize Mars, something like what is presented here will be how it’s done. I envision robots being sent ahead of the permanent base to build habitable structures, collect and store essentials like water and breathable air, and have it all set up ahead time. Then we develop it into a permanent base with rotating crews like we do now on the space station. Eventually, we have permanent settlements.
Someday.
