Good luck building the pressure for the blower, it's hard to cpmpress gas in a low-pressure atmosphere. The dust particles are also statically charged and so will require a lot of pressure to work.

Solid points, for sure. Like I said, I'm sure way more educated-on-the-matter people than me clearly work on this. Just seems like a problem begging for a better solution than "guess it'll just get covered indust and die." And I'm certain they're working on it
Don't mistake idle conversation on an interesting subject for a formal debate. You'll enjoy life more. :)
