Blue sky on Mars.

<"Tell me again why a blue sky on Mars is impossible?"

Not impossible if you have an Earth-like atmopheric condition. The problem is that dust-light interaction is the dominant process on Mars unlike the Earth where it's Molecular, but it can be dust or particulate dominated on the horizon if you live in a large city. Especially in Texas.....
