Congratulations to the InSight team on a successful landing! We'll discuss the remainder of the mission here.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I couldn't help to dig a little deeper in literature, and found that, in contrast to my first expectations, mere van-der-Waals forces can already be sufficient to cause temporary jamming (transition into a solid) of fine powders on high stress (Jamming Threshold of Dry Fine Powders, by J. M. Valverde, DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.92.258303, see especially Fig. 1, investigated in the context of toners).
More tricky electrorheological properties of the dust phase in the Martian soil would still remain possible. |
