I understand the beer, but what do you need the weapons for?

Throw them against hard objects? I have found the ground more than adequate for the task. Not only that, but it improves the flavour somewhat.

The important thing is that everybody got together beforehand and came to an agreement. Wonderful things happen when people learn to share. I motion that we nickname this craft "The Fred Rogers".

The dust doesn't just settle on the surface. It hits at high speed and actually pits the surface. This kind of damage cannot be fixed easily.

In all the Euro bashing, every one seems to forget that the Japanese craft Nozumi failed before it reached Mars. It was apparently incapacitated by solar radiation and would not respond to the steering commands necessary to make it orbit Mars.

Oh please. Our technology has advanced significantly since then. If the Martian wars were to occur today, it would be an entirely different scenario.

Not true, I said the CIA was responsible for both probes failures :P. Considering that the US is the only country with sucessful landings on mars it doesn't seem that far fetched does it .

Your post of CIA! CIA! CIA! was totally without context. I had no idea what you were referring to. And no, it wasn't the CIA, it was the little green men who have had a secret alliance with the US since we faked the moon landings.
