COMMENTS
Well before the Mars Rover landings and serious discussion of colonization, June Wayne was focusing on the extraterrestrial winds of our galaxy.
“The barren surface of the red planet has been shaped and sculpted into terrains of grandeur and beauty by strong and relentless Martian winds.”
—"World Of Wind And Dust", Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
Many years after Wayne’s Velowind, researchers detected the existence of a plasma wind in data from the European Space Agency’s Cluster spacecraft. It is thought likely "that other planets also have similar winds that would transfer some of their atmospheric material into surrounding space.”
