yeah, that would be a bitch... Trudging through a 200mph sand storm at
-200F, dog tired from working12 hours in the mine, hungry, thirsty,
and get to the airlock going into the station, reach out for the handle
and have a 20,000 volt charge blow a hole through your glove and
fingers, and you die from explosive decompression....

They said one of the main dangers to life on Mars
