Great summary! My money is still on rockets and landing burns. But I will not say no to skidding in on an inflatable donut.

So if they could land there in '76, surely that worked?
Isn't science supposed to be repeatable?
Isn't progress supposed to accumulate?

I'm having that same feeling that I got when someone first
pointed out that there was no blast-crater under the lunar module.

I'd like to believe.
I believe in Jesus, but I don't believe in Apollo.
Now Viking too?

Shhh. Next you will be telling them about the 150 million Morlocks living deep underground under the Indian subcontinent....oh ****.

We have made a lot of progress over the last 10 years or so.

Of course they are using a parachute. But it's not so simple. Why you may ask? Watch the video

Yes,lol.

Its very ...
Problematic, it seems. Didnt know this, actually...makes the manned mission seem different.

Mars's atmosphere is extremely rarefied, parachutes are problematic I imagine, I didn't watch the video I am lazy.
