I hear Scrump want new deserts in the US named after him and his "extended" family. The major flaw in the Guinness record attempt. By any person wearing one black sock and one red sock with a heel 'spud.' Is whether to use oxygen on the first direct ascent of the cliffs of Olympus Mons. ;-) |

There were literally billions of Martians present! The crowd was captured live by Hubble as a planet-wide, dark cloud, sweeping right across the Red planet! ;-) |

But it does occur to me that one way to sell Mars would be as a sports destination, for mountain climbers and such. Of course, they'd have to watch out for dust storms. |

I'm not sure a dust storm on Mars poses much risk to someone on the surface. 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! |
