mars dust is conductive? Thats news to me.
- RandallBrown 2y agoNews to me as well, but it makes sense at least on the surface. Mars is red because it's covered in rusty iron.
- micromacrofoot 2y agoit's incredibly dry so not hugely conductive, but any moisture will cause perchlorates within it to dissociate into ions I wouldn't want to bury a bunch of unshielded wire in it, especially if the wires ever get hot (which can produce moisture given the presence of specific minerals)
