There are more sharp edged peaks in this one picture than in any pics I’ve seen taken on the lunar surface. Pretty though even without any tress or shrubbery.

Isn’t “silica” another name for “sand?”

We need to terraform Mars, then pollute it until the Greenies freak.
Or would they be called Reddies.

At one time tridymite was considered rare, but that was before widespread testing of many different volcanic rocks turned out to contain lots of small to microscopic crystals of tridymite. Its wide spread distribution in certain types of rocks would require an abundance rating of at least common, although its identification is not easy.

I would guess that with all that water activity, there is a lush, underground habitat on Mars. The Morlocks live there and raise Eloi as slaves and sources of food. Once in a while, they spot one of our rovers and plant things in their paths as a joke.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
