  • wtf. no mcdonalds on mars. i want the franchise.

  • Did it get immediatly to work? or did it get a couple of days to rest ?

  • sadly it crash.

  • @rachelraysunshine

    Are you wondering if this video is computerized? seriously? like, do you think its a real life filming or what

  • and how is it any astronauts are to make it out of the Van Allen radiation belts?

    26,000 km deep at the VERY least... Van Allen himself figured it was almost double that distance..

  • how do u get this video wondering is it computerized

  • OHH well theres your problem false geussing i suppose

  • It failed most likely when the landing pads deployed. When they dropped down, the force tricked the lander into thinking it had hit the ground and landed, so it cut the decent engines off while it was still around 100 feet in the air....gravity (even though a third of earth gravity) did the rest.

  • so how did it fail? i know phenox lander made it but how did polar fail?
