Since we have already landed things on Mars, maybe they should have asked NASA if they had a few extras lying around. 👍😁

I am sure they have run the math, but Marsian atmosphere is far far thinner that the earths... So, a parachute in earths atmosphere is going to encounter far more resistance than it would on Mars....
Its bad that the chute tore, but it also is facing far greater stresses on earth than it would on Mars.. No?
