[Coco] off-topic, space program

[Roger Taylor]

1996
U.S. launches Mars Pathfinder. Lander and rover arrive on Mars in July 
1997, in the most-watched space event ever. Lander sends back thousands of 
images, and Sojourner rover roams the surface, sending back 550 images.


from what I just read, almost the entire timeline of the Mars missions was 
filled with failures

Go, NASA, go.
