How many of yours have succeeded?
Let me clarify. I'm asking how many Briddish Mars missions have actually succeeded in the real world, not how many "would have" suceeded in the dim reaches of your fantasies.

Let me clarify. I'm asking how many Briddish Mars missions have actually succeeded in the real world, not how many "would have" suceeded in the dim reaches of your fantasies.
So far, there's only been ONE lander on Mars from Britain - the only country ever to provide a Martian rover other than the USA and USSR. Nobody is too sure what happened to Beagle 2, other than that it definitely landed on the Martian surface. Whatever happened to it the blame most likely lies with Mission Control.
So, we have a 50% failure rate and you have a 100% failure rate.
Yep, you sure showed us!
True. Just like they're a better soccer country than Germany because 1 > 4.
The key for analyzing Brittish soccer is to count the goals they score in their own net as well.
And, likewise, if it paid off we'd be the only country with a 100% Mars rover success rate.
Yeah, and if you could play soccer, you'd have more than one World Cup.
If pigs had bad teeth, they'd be Brits.
And little to do with briddin.
And all to do with briddin.
The Briddish can't even land a static probe on Mars. Meanwhile the US has had rovers doing donuts on Mars for years.
Beagle 2 wasn't even a rover. All it had to do was land and deploy. Yet instead the briddish crashed it into the surface.
Would by chance any other countries be involved in those launch attempts?
Don't lump your failures into NASAs successes.
The Soviets and even the Chinese sent rovers to Mars before the Americans did. And the Americans only just beat the Europeans to it.
It had to stop when a Martian stood in front of it and refused to move out of the way.
