Given the number of failed missions over Mars, don't laugh.
Back a few years, there was considerable discussion of the gremlins on Mars.
Gremlins seem to popup at the worst time and in the worst way during Mars missions.
The international community sent a flotilla of spacecraft to Mars during this launch opportunity. The Japanese and the British lost their spacecraft.
Now, JPL is holding all the cards for the entire international scientific community.
They need alot of luck in the next few hours to get the rover on the surface safely.

ALL of the Mars missions that have failed thus far were guided by SOCIALISTS. Notice how none of these socialist space programs simply offer competitive prizes for private industry to try and achieve much more with much less?
