If landing a probe (if not an anal probe) on Mars appears such a problematic procedure...are we really ready to start risking human lives trying land on the red (or not so red) planet.
I wonder if the Bush administration or NASA have considered that whatever lands also has to be able to take off again afterwards.
Air Filled condoms will not be a sufficient method of landing and, er...re-entry.
