Hello Sterling:
I think that it was a software failure that doomed Mars Polar Lander:
When the spacecraft sensed that the vehicle had landed, then the engines
were to cut off. This was done by noting that the landing legs flexed
(sprung back as a shock absorber) as the ship touched down.

But there are several reasons for going there:
1. You actually know where the sample came from (not true for the meteorite).
2. To get a meteorite takes a little energy, so stuff happens to a Mars

3. If you are looking
