  6. Weather? on What To Wear On Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are they suits weather proof?
    There is brief mention of the martian dust in the first paragraph of the technical document, but it isn't addressed elsewere, Martian winds can carry dusts to excessively high speeds and will stick it to almost any material like it were spray paint, nearly impossible to remove.

    While universities may have this hardware in there courses, is it available to everyone at cheap, with manuals?
