10/10 satire


yeah, but as someone not educated in those matters, could someone compare the "fake" computations from the comment to real ones ? So we could see how wrong they are...


I don't have figures for you, but some food for thought - a) 'wind-carved' rocks are not really carved by the wind itself but by particles carried on the wind, and Mars is regularly subject to large dust storms (see https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/the-fact-and-fiction-of... - sorry it's a NASA link, hopefully everyone can see through the grifting, or whatever), b) the vast timescales involved - who knows how many hundreds of thousands of years that rock has been sitting there, slowly weathering away?


Mars once had a much thicker atmosphere.
