Interesting facts about Mars exploration

 The USA is the only country to successfully land and operate probes and rovers on Mars.

The Russians did soft land their Mars 3 probe early in the game, but it only broadcast for 14.5 seconds before going silent.  To their credit, though, they did get pictures back from their Venus probe.

Otherwise, on the red planet, it's all Oo-Ess-Ah.

  2. No, just the stock market crashes of 1929 and 2022.

  3. Seems like a waste of money although I've heard many argue otherwise.
