Fewer than half of the world's attempts to land on the Red Planet have succeeded.

Is this legit, or is it more PC globalist crap? Who else but the US oF A has been sending craft to Mars? If I'm not aware of others I apologize, but this smacks of more globalist community crap to me...

Russia tried and failed ,, we failed less than them and made it part of the time..

Actually Mars has been a frequent target of various countries’ probes: Russia (and earlier as the Soviet Union), the Europeans (with a failed British lander), and Japan have all sent missions there, with varying successes and failures.

The Europeans tried and failed with the Beagle 2 lander. It was actually supposed to land in the same area as Phoenix but disappeared during its descent.
