• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Amazing. Its hard to believe with its thin atmosphere, that there would be strong enough winds to cause a dust devil. Of course the gravity is a lot lower as well. Thanks for posting.

Must be weaker in the thinner atmosphere compared to the ones on earth, I'd suppose

Yeah they're not a problem for our rovers. Actually they're really useful, because every so often one comes along and cleans the dust from solar panels. I think this is a big reason for why Spirit and Opportunity lasted so much longer than was planned.
