    Neat! I wasn’t sure how stable water ice is the Martian atmosphere. I wonder if it would be feasible to collect it for producing rocket propellant or drinking water…

      Probably not too difficult to harvest atmospheric water vapor in small quantities, but to do it on an industrial scale may require a lot of energy.

      There are some spectacular NavCam raw frames just arrived of more clouds in Gale on sols 4398 and 4399… T’is the season LINK
