"A year and a half after twin robot rovers thrilled space fans with their hijinks on Mars"

"hijinks" what was it a summer comedy? Never heard landing on another planet called hijinks. IF man goes to mars would they call it slapstick?

It's the AP. I think word selection is key. Hijinks would be an attempt to minimize the accomplishment, and to marginalize the space program as something superfluous.
