This is really great to see and hear!

This NASA article includes more information, including more footage and audio!

Which would make a better band name: “Electric Dust Devils” or “triboelectric effect”?

Hilarious people think they can live there.

I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it would take a lot of research, tech, and work to just survive. A lot more than some who daydream about it are thinking. We are not at the level it would require. Hell, just the distance is enough of a problem, and it's the nearest planet.

Might be easier to take care of what we have here, while we still have some of it.
