Mankind can winch down a nuclear-powered car onto the surface of Mars from the hovering rocketship.

Personally I can't get Tetra Paks open without spilling some milk.

They can't get it to plant a flag though.

Idiots!

What happens when someone else lands, they won't know it's now American. It needs a flag.

They lost visibility/contact on the thing very shortly after it had landed, so only two thumbnails till they get another pass.

I still think they should have a balloon based rover, so they can fly.

No, but it will build a McDonalds out of rock over the next few years.

Probably.
