Re: From OK to Mars

*We've got tornado chasers in Oklahoma (and elsewhere in "Tornado Alley" such as TX panhandle)...what do you suppose the chances are "dust devil chasing" will be a pasttime (both for science and just for the fun of it) for folks in small vehicles (land-based if surrounding terrain is smooth enough OR by motorized hang-glider) on Mars?

Sounds like fun; I'd like to give it a shot.  On the ground, though (hang-gliding would       -not- be my thing...Cindy gets dizzy fast, Cindy gets disoriented, Cindy crashes...).

I wonder what sorts of variations in behavior among dust devils they'd discover, or if they're all pretty much ho-hum predictable.
