I'm really disappointed. Lets just keep our fingers crossed for the U.S
probes.

I think the Martians are wise to us and are sabotaging our probes.

Given the high percentage of missions which fail (especially landers)
I'm tempted to agree. Seriously!

The last time I was kidnapped and probed by Martian women (actually a pretty
good date, and they provide the transportation) they didn't mention the
Lander-Eating Ghoul. Have to remember to ask next time.
