Mars is easy. Just wait until they try it on the Big Guy, by Jove!

Going to need a bigger 'chute!

What kind of drogue did they use?

Rocket-propelled?

Doesn’t seem like there would be much use for a chute in an atmosphere like this

One of these days, the MSM will try to tell you that Mars never existed and it’s a conspiracy theory to say it did. They’ll even brand you as ‘deniers’ and demand your arrest for thinking this way.

Yeah...I’m being silly. But this wouldn’t surprise me. This is who the subversives are and what they do.

Mars’ thinner atmosphere will require more square feet of chute to slow the payload than it would need here on Earth.
