Mars is an angry planet. The USA finally conquered it back in 1975, and we have still had a few mishaps since. I don’t believe any other country(s) have had any success landing there.... USA.. USA.. USA... (I know, I know, racist or something)...

so what did it do , flip over and land on it’s Face ?
To: Mr. Douglas
Regarding Mars, this seems to happen a lot.
In the argot of space exploration, it's the GGG - Great Galactic Ghoul.
It appears there are areas we are allowed to see and areas we are not.
From looking at the probable landing area yesterday, it was almost on top of the current location of the Opportunity rover.
Not that they were trying to hit it, but were off course down and to the right of the nearest of the four desired landing choices.
I wasn't impressed on where they were trying to land. From strictly a scatter diagram, they were trying to put it in a somewhat "congested" area, but they were taking terrain into consideration.

Or, it’s simply not all that easy to get there.

Yes, that is a possibility. But so many get there, and fail on the landing.
BRAKES FAILED!

There are two types of countries in this world.
Those that use the metric system....

This is a classic "Bim, Bam, Bem" cover: a scantily clad Bimbo, a space-suited husky male, and a Bug-Eyed Monster.
