As you probably know, Mars is red because it is covered in rust. Iron oxide makes up 15-20% of the soil. Here, we have two very useful things for humans: iron and oxygen. To decompose this dust, we would achieve a material for building structures and air to breathe. Separating them is fairly straightforward; an electrical current could reorder the electrons and give us the pure elements. I would love to see autonomous robots deployed across Mars, driving and scooping up dust, separating these elements (let's say solar panels for power), and leaving chunks of raw iron and tanks of oxygen in their wake.
