Zak McKracken - Sound on Mars?

Well, I think weird and random sometimes... especially when it comes to Amiga games. And in the game Zak McKracken - one of the puzzles involves playing a recording on a boom box to activate a sound triggered door. My question was - could this really happen? Would there even be sound on Mars - since there is no air like on earth? Well, I typed in "Sound on Mars" in Google and found this answer from NASA.

It turns out that since Mars does have an atmosphere that sound would actually travel - because sound travels through all gases - not just air.

Now I need to scientifically prove the giant face on Mars, which may be a little harder. Smile
