Successful planetary missions? Um, like Pathfinder, Mars Global Surveyor, NEAR, Cassini, and Deep Space 1?
When I hear "billions in failed missions," I think of the billion-dollar Mars Observer or the crippled Galileo. The two Mars mission failures cost less than 500 million total.
I'm not an unquestioning Goldin fan, but there is more reasonable criticism of him than this.
