The sharing of knowledge thru conversations and point-counterpoint is the purpose of r/space. But do you contributors really think you have a better comprehension of the problem than NASA's select experts? NASA engineering has certainly considered virtually all options and, bottom line, the problems with the solutions apparently outweigh the problem itself. The benefits of new tech development is best applied to replacement missions with new rovers equipped to answer new questions. 🤔🧐

Of course they're aware of the problem but by the time the dust takes its toll, they've already got a better, more precisely focused one on the drawing board, the older version virtually obsolete almost before it lands. Newly developed scientific questions and rapid tech development make it more economically acceptable to let the dust collect until the recyclers get there. 🧐

Whut?! The world ain't flat awlready?! 😧😳

The article, the article! Articles are for amateurs and losers. We don' need no stinking articles! We're redditteerz! We're 'splodin' with smarts! 🤯

Or, "A Red under every bed!" 🛌👀😬

Use to be, "Rather be dead than Red!" 🤪

Blue moons have been around since... well, you know. I've known about them since before you dropped your diapers on the living room floor. (Ask your mama 'bout that part.) Ain't never heard "🎵 Blue Moooon🎶"? 👴

We're all on dust - been kicking it and tryin' to get off it for years. It's just so damned attractive, especially in bulk. 😬

Thought we were talking about a meteor hole. S'prize.🤪

Do we have enough extra chairs? 🙄

Don't exaggivate. There's only the three of us to snicker. 😅

Did you really think that the Marshmallow Man was from Earth?? 😏💭

What looms hovering in this hallowed eve's night sky That we cannot see no matter the try? 🎃👻👹

I'll volunteer my wife. Send her to Mars to clean it up. 🤔🥽🧤🤪
