    If Kyptonite makes Kryptionians weak, does hematite make Hemos weak?

    note the quote "Once they reach their landing sites, each rover's prime mission will last at least 90 martian days (92 Earth days). The rovers are solar-powered, and in approximately 90 days, dust accumulating on the solar arrays likely will be diminishing the power supply. "

    Have those people ever heard of wipers????? :)
