Sad but inevitable. Oh well. Phoenix had a better innings than MPF, and now she's part of Mars history.

Sad but inevitable. Oh well. Phoenix had a better innings than MPF, and now she's part of Mars history. Better? Not so. Sojourner had a 7 day primary mission, and the lander had a 30 day primary mission. Also, Pathfinder was an engineering mission not a science mission, yet it ended up doing good science. Phoenix and Pathfinder were both great successes, but your comparison is not valid. -------------------- |
