While The martian written by Andy Weir is a really hard stuff, but the effects of the storm at the beginning arent.
But i wonder could a real solar/sandstorm actually help a prison break on Mars (from a remote penal colony)?
Could it mask tracks in the dust?
Could it create enough interference to cause communication problems with beyond the horizont radio? (Escapees cut energy to prevent sending a high energy beam to a satellite)
How much it could make harder to spot a rover from space? (Most spacecraft the authorities have is on, or beyond aerostationary orbit. They rather care about an outside attack than monitor a dead planet, where only underground and domed cities. )
Could it cause significant trouble to drones? (Nasa thinks that large wingspan minimal weight drones might be useful in martian atmosphere)
