Not trying to be pedantic but really curious, it should be off-earth not off-world, right?
Off-world meaning that the iron production is made by alien not human.
- zokier 1y agoGoogle defines (citing Oxford Languages) offworld as: * away from earth or (in science fiction) from a place treated as the native world. * involving, located in, or coming from a place outside one's native world or planet. While Wiktionary defines it as: * (chiefly science fiction) Not on Earth. * (chiefly science fiction) Away from Earth. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/offworld https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/offworld To me that sounds like Mars would qualify
