4$\begingroup$ What would they use it for? If you mean as a source of sodium I imagine even the with the sparcity of it on the surface it'd be easier to mine for it than try to capture it from the very tenuous tail $\endgroup$– Alan BirtlesCommented Nov 27 at 7:24

$\begingroup$ I suppose "make use of" could mean both practical and scientific uses. I wonder if it could indirectly report on nuclei flux of solar wind & micro-meteoric impact rates and their variability, or perhaps a covert spaceship landing? It could also be used to make by far the world's most expensive table salt without having to be pink. Related in Astronomy: How can Mercury's sodium tail be imaged? and Why is sodium such a common ion for in ion tails? $\endgroup$– uhohCommented Nov 27 at 9:44
