Sometimes You Get What You Pay For

Perhaps you missed all the news of the various Nazomi problems. You should also not that NASA's "redundant" rovers are going to different sites and are two missions not just a mission and a back up. Still ignoring the vast differences between a lander and a rover as well I see.

Regards,
Mark
