Fun fact, that big gash is called Valles Marineris and it's the deepest canyon in the solar system.
There's probably nothing scary in there...
It's definitely the largest canyon, if I'm reading Wiki right. It's over 4km long and 200 wide, compared to the Grand Canyon at 277km long and 29 wide
Wait a second....how do yoh decide it's 4 long and 200 wide instead of 200 long and 4 wide?
You're right thanks! Late night brain moment
The Mariana Trench seems to be deeper, 11000 m compared to 7000 m. But I’m not sure what’s the reference point on Mars for elevation. But at least can’t fall into the Mariana Trench
why not? is there some local anomaly that causes gravity not to work?
I wouldn’t consider this as falling, but i get your point, i don’t see why sinking shouldn’t also be falling
I should have specified: at least you won’t die from the impact
Air is not so different from water in the grand scheme of things, we're just designed for and acclimated to air rather than water. So yeah, I think sinking is at best a subgenre of falling.
You're right, thanks for the correction
