@TraditionalAnglican Could always K.I.S.S. by just adding a Delta-brand 80mm Blower style computer fan with contact pads for power (so that it can rotate), and mount that to a plastic gearbox and a little motor to slowly rotate the blower while it's on. Granted, Mar's atmo is super thin, so I don't know how effective a small fan would do... But, Delta are known for extremely fast (loud) and high CFM, which I can confirm is definitely accurate lol (the entire reason I suggest that blower is because I have one; off an old watercooled Mac dual-PowerPC system that I was given)

@DwayneETowns Thanks for filling in the science there! 🤔 In sure there's a warehouse full of ShamWOW!s they could use lol I also wonder if the dust kicked up by wind is being statically charged, giving it a stronger than normal attraction to the solar arrays, which themselves may have attained a charge of their own from photon collection? (I have no idea if the panels are "bare" or have a thin glass layer, so if it's the latter it may or may not be possible with glass being an isolator... but then again, Plasma Globes so...🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️)

@7:30 [right camera] I haven't seen this occurring in a long time, and even now it's not as prominent as once upon a time, but can anyone explain the ""heartbeat"" of the mylar (?) bag around the Stage 2 engine? It's very faint nowadays, and I've been wanting to ask this for many many months, but all the footage didn't present it. I can only assume there was some small upgrade to the engine system, which had lessened whatever is occurring... EDIT: Case in point! The following footage with the Starlink launch, I can't see it beating... 😑 lol My only thought on what that might be is some sort of pressure release valve. 🤷‍♂️ If memory serves me correctly, in addition to being more pronounced, the pulsing may have also been slightly slower (longer delay)? It would only be a difference by of maybe 200ms, putting the more noticeable rate at around a 1sec interval, compared to now's ~800ms. Thanks!
