Of the dozens of Mars missions since 1960, about half have crashed or missed the planet altogether, thanks to component failures, rocket engine mishaps or software errors.

And people want to go there?

Humans better odds of submitting Everest and living to tell the tale.

With odds like that, you'd have to be nuts to sign up for that odyssey.

USA and UAE will make it. China will say they made it.

UAE will crap out after 4 months. USA will last 3+ years.
