Will Opportunity rover wake up?
The solar-powered rover got trapped in a massive dust storm, which blotted out the sun, its source of energy. And after the storm cleared, Opportunity — affectionately called “Oppy” — didn’t “wake” back up. NASA announced Wednesday that it will not be hearing from the robot ever again.
How will astronauts stay warm on Mars?

Is Martian soil toxic?
Martian soil is toxic, due to relatively high concentrations of perchlorate compounds containing chlorine. The NASA Phoenix lander first detected chlorine-based compounds such as calcium perchlorate. The levels detected in the Martian soil are around 0.5%, which is a level considered toxic to humans.
How strong are Martian winds?
Mars’ atmosphere is a hundred times thinner than ours and with less molecules to be blown around, the force exerted by wind is much, much less. A 60 mph wind gust on Mars would feel closer to 6 mph on Earth. As such, this dramatic dust storm would be a breeze, and certainly wouldn’t blow someone away.
