Can't Go to Mars, Nope, Just Can't
Mars is way too dusty!
Have to go back to planet Selene (the Moon) first. And the Moon's way too dusty, too! And it's not dust like our Earth dust, either. It's much worse... http://www.physorg.com/news3450.html Nope, we just can't go to Mars. Did you know? The regolith on Mars in some places is up to ten meters thick? Imagine you're on Mars and you're digging... SHWOOOP! And you're swallowed up by some kind of sinkhole! Too, too, waay too dangerous--hazards galore! Can't go to Mars, nope, just can't. -- happy days and... starry starry nights! Indelibly yours, Paine http://www.painellsworth.net http://www.savethechildren.org

It turns out that the Moon has a very thin "atmosphere" of electrostatically lofted surface dust.

Here i find out that there might be LIGHTNING in every one of those mega-dust devil things! Yup! i was right!... CAN'T go to Mars, nope, just CAN'T ! Thanks, Doug, that is a most informative article about what engineers are calling the number 1 challenge for a trip to Mars. Dern Dust gets into...

That article that Doug cited was partly about dust devils that rose extremely high in the Marsian sky, and that left wide swarthy paths in the landscape. You think maybe there was a time? back when scopers were supposedly seeing canali (channels) on the surface of Mars? that they were perhaps seeing the swarthy paths made by monster Marsian dust devils?

Ok, thanks, Painius! So I might change my plans for Saturday night and stay at home with my TV :-) C. So sorry, C.... everything i've read from and about you says you're of extraterrestrial roots. So, you don't sport some kind of handy physical trait? or maybe an advanced piece o' gear that would keep the dust outta your bod? But please don't share the info with Mr. Esa or Mr. Nasa... i don' wanna be shipped out to that... ANGRY RED PLANET ! So what's on TV Saturday night ;-? happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Indelibly yours, Paine http://www.painellsworth.net http://www.savethechildren.org

It could be something truly awesome that only happens in long-term cycles. Then when it's over, the canali disappear as if they ne'er were. If our courageous astronuts happen to be out 'n about when it starts, they might disappear along with the canali. It could very well be...
