The dust grains themselves could be abrasive and do some surface damage to a suit, but otherwise, you'd hardly notice the fastest winds on Mars, which have less energy than a mild breeze on Earth. That's an interesting point. Conversely, the slightest breeze on Venus is equivalent to a hurricane on Earth. Although you'd probably not be worrying about the force of the wind so much as the fact that it consisted of 800° sulfuric acid! Fahrenheit? Hang your head in shame. |
