    It even works most of the time - pretty much all the time, actually. We’ve only failed twice so far, out of… something like 70 attempts, I believe. And only because those two rock targets were too hard.

    You’re right, it’s impressive. Come to think of it, though, Spirit and Opportunity used to do this too, and Curiosity’s still at it, so we’ve actually been at this for twenty years now. Yeah, it’s been a ride.
