  1. Acquiring nitrogen would seem to be the next big step, as we need something to reduce the partial pressure of the oxygen. Besides the obvious fire hazard, breathing pure oxygen for too long is extremely bad for the human body. Since nitrogen is so non-reactive, I think isolating it from the Martian atmosphere would be more a matter of removing the CO2 and retaining what's left over, rather than some chemical process.
