Too bad there's no such USSR fly-by-rocket R&D footage of anything
viable on behalf of any such failsafe downrange and soft landing,
especially as suited for such a crystal dry and electrostatic charged
environment that's double IR roasted and fully gamma/X-ray saturated
to boot.

At best, we're talking about robotic controlled hard landings of the
semi-impact kind, that which technology of that cold-war era was
capable of achieving.
