This is perhaps a good example for those who believe that robotics and probes can rival, or even exceed, humans on the ground. This paper is 11,000+ words, involved computer simulations, a mass of data, and dozens of researchers. All to investigate whether there's morning water frost in certain areas on Mars.<p>It's actually quite interesting, particularly to imagine the process playing out on such a different planet 40 million miles away, but with humans on the ground with access to reasonable tools and utilities, this would be a morning experiment. Perhaps even more relevantly, they could also be carrying out work which is impossible right now, such as deep drilling or exploring the literally hundreds of cave entrances that have been discovered in the exact same (Tharsis) area.
