Re: What is missing here
is simple sanity.
You can hit these folks with as many facts as you like, nothing sinks in. What you need to understand is that the behavior is pathological, and would be easily identified as such except for certain social factors... In other words, the use of physics, chemistry, or "marseology" is futile: what you need to use is psychology...
By way of example, Nick has already found and shared here images clearly showing CO2 outgassing at these "streaks" at temperatures of umpteen degrees below zero; it simply does not sink in... and it never does...
