Let's hope the landers get past the old remaining Martian planetary defense systems that took out all the other probes this year. :P

And if they succeed, maybe they can find some of the billions of taxpayer dollars we've strewn about the Martian landscape.

LOL! The most expensive scap-metal in the solar system. Let's hope the Martians don't fine us for littering.

snicker--my alltime favorite Looney Toon character.

To all--notice how much interest there is in a robotic probe? Could be, sending robots is actually novel?
