Keep in mind that out of everything that has tried to land on Mars, only two have succeeded thus far.

Also keep in mind that it uses the exact same design as Spirit, which landed and is working perfectly.

What are your thoughts?

It's got such a silly name I'm almost hoping it doesn't. What would the marsians thank of us then?

Im sure that after the Marsians have analyzed the Beagle 2 they will know all they need to know about us...

The future is here, and all bets are off.

With all the variables taken into account, I say that there is no way that two thingys could land on Mars, both working successfully within a month of one another.

But they are independent of one another, so any person who has ever taken a statistics course will tell me how flawed my logic is.

Oh well.

Yes, that's quite ridiculous. I don't see why it can't succeed, so I'll say yes.

I think maybe you've forgotten about the Viking probes?

Of course it won't succeed!! The Martians have by now most definately realized where the first one came from, and their SAM missiles will be ready for the next!! :O

it will make it, but it's batteries will die just before it reaches the city while the other has backdrops placed in front of it.

But surely, NASA would have realized that they would have SAMs ready, and would have installed a defense system.

Of course, but the Martians would have seen the first one and figured this into their diobolical plans, and therefore the SAMs are actually just a diversion while they shoot it down with LASERS!

Well, I've heard Mars is an equal Opportunity deployer.

ZING!

Nope.

It'll crash into Spirit.

Hahaha, that would suck so much... "DAMNIT, WHO'S THE MORON WHO PUT THEM BOTH ON THE SAME TRAJECTORY PATH!!"

Ummm... *embarrased look*... yes, I did. Okay, make that four... or something. Somebidy might want to check my math.

Well its always good to be optomistic, and SPIRIT was a huge hit, so I would say yes.
