JPL's had a good record at Mars, so I'm willing to say 75/25 the rover gets to the surface. I still don't get why they gave it the same name as the current MER already on Mars. Reminds me of that Bob Newhart series on TV (the 2nd one): "Hi, my name is Larry and this is my brother Daryll and that one is my other brother Daryll." Huh? The MERs are named Spirit and Opportunity. Oops! Yup. Brain gears stripped. Recalled this later this AM. You caught me before I could correct it. Oh well. I have to learn not to post until I finish my morning coffee.... Dave |

Just napkin figuring, I put the odds at less than 1 in 20 that
something goes wrong at launch or before Mars Encounter. The part I'm worried about is that damn sky crane idea. How well DID they test it?? |
