Re: Age and Scale
Good point and well put.
A problem, I feel, is that the possibility current and recent surface processes are routinely either discounted or ignored, unless they involve wind. Yet there is plenty of evidence of relatively recent massive surface alterations all over the planet, alterations that involve a good deal more than a wind puff or odd dust storm.
Maybe what we need is a better narrative about Mars in popular literature. So much that is discussed in the scientific literature is simply unavailable or incomprehensible to an average educated reader....
