[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 565559, member: 4012"] The Chinese Mars mission will be very interesting to follow, as it's hugely ambitious to be trying for the three card trick: orbiter, lander and rover. Getting to Mars is the easy part, but slowing down a lander in the thin atmosphere while countering the weak gravity for an intact, on-target landing, has proven very tricky in the past and only NASA have consistently mastered the art. We'll never hear the end of it if the Chinese get it right first time. [/QUOTE]
