Maybe the sulphuric acid isn't that concentrated. We should watch the
wheels and see if they start to discolor or show signs of corrosion.
If sulphuric acid was common in the regolith then iron pyrite, shouldn't
iron pyrite be a common mineral? Could the Moessbauer distinguish
iron pyrite from other iron compounds?
