Thanks! Seems as though the Soviets were sending stuff up just to have a footnote in history.

I don’t know where they got the ruples to... Mars is a tough shot any way ya cut it. The Brits and Beagle mission come to mind too.

The Soviet also managed to land probes on Venus and return pictures (some in color) from the surface — quite a feat. God knows I have little tenderness for the Soviets, but you got to admit that their spacecraft engineers had spunk. To bad they served a monstrous system.

Look up the Venera probes’ history.
