  And all of the above are JPL projects! The only thing you left off the list is the USSR's Mars landers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_program (Proud JPLer here, although I haven't worked on any Mars stuff.)

    Do you still do any occult ceremonies before launching stuff?

      Peanuts. (Wait, that's for EDL, not for launch.)

    I didn't include the Soviet Mars landers because the most successful of the bunch only worked for 20 seconds on the Mars surface. They had better luck with Venus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_3#Entry,_descent,_landing,_and_transmission_failure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_3#Entry,_descent,_landing...

    And I believe all were built by Lockheed Martin?
