Splat?
Is the 39 days to reach Mars an estimate based on traveling the distance and going splat into the side of the planet, like recent probes, or is it taking into account the tedious deceleration required to approach at non-suicidal speeds? I'm sure the Martians are getting a bit cheesed off at the amount of crap we keep littering their planet with.
