Congress holding UFO hearing Tuesday morning at 9 AM EDT: Watch it live here!
That's what the scientist said about The Martian movie during that wind storm.From Google:
QUOTE
Can you feel wind on Mars?
Mars' atmosphere is less than one percent of Earth's. So a 150-km/hour wind would feel like about a 1-km/hour wind does on Earth. It wouldn't do any damage to anything.

Sounds like an amazing place ClovisCatastrophe, if you were here I'd take you down into Cotton Wood cave. It's to far into the woods to be a tourist attraction. First get you suited up. You just don't go willie nillie down there. And you would have to spend the night down there, and bring some food and water. It's a long climb, which takes about one day one way. We use little markers, and collect them on the way out. But there is an underground lake in there. Ive never tried to cross it, but my lamps ( big flashlights) can't reach out far enough to see the other side.
It's a big place, and it hasn't been changed like Carlsbad has. Caves are often refered to as inner space. Yup, but if we ever have to check out the Mars Caverns it's going to need to explored by some very brave, hardy people. I wouldn't try it, we know nothing about them, or if they even remotely resemble anything like we have here on the Earth.Sounds like an amazing place Clovis![]()
Good point you've made! I think despite all the troubles they will manage to find evidence of life if there is so. And ofc caverns will be explored by the brave people. I have no doubt about it!If we did find evidence of life, we may not like it. It may not like us either. Something like a deadly fungus, or a microbe. We know nothing about.
Some of our Caverns have their own little Eco systems. Things not seen on the surface.
Most plants start to disappear 1/2 way up a mountain so that is probably the limit of useful pressure for growing plants.OK:
Mars habitat - Wikipedia
So let's assume we have protection from radiation and meteorites . . . . . . how about food self-sufficiency?
"Taken to an extreme, the question remains just how a low a pressure could a plant survive in and still be useful.[14]
A Mars habitat may need to focus on keeping a certain type of plant alive, for example, as part of supporting its inhabitants.[15]"
