Re: How water flows on Mars - A Future Experiment

An experiment I would love to see is the release of water on the Mars surface, see how it flows in the thin air and .3 G’s. See how long it last and how it erodes. Of course the more water the better.

If only a comet would slam into Mars and we had a MER ready to land (Daydreaming).

Re: How water flows on Mars - A Future Experiment

With martian temperatures in the minus most of the time it would most likely be salt water, warmed and probably the experiment could only be done at the equator.

One only needs to look close at adjacent large rocks to see the silt between to know that water did flow.
