Jak widać popularne gazety nie potrafią się ustrzec od przeoczeń i nieścisłości.
Nagłówek sugeruje, że miały być przedstawione tylko nieudane lądowania.
Niektóre nieudane ladowania pominięte, a niektóre nieudane wejscia na orbitę wokółmarsjańską też pominięte.
THE FAILED MISSIONS TO MARS: BEAGLE 2 AND OTHER LOST LANDERS
The only previous European Space Agency (Esa) spacecraft to attempt a Mars landing was the ill-fated British-built Beagle 2 on Christmas Day in 2003.
After separating from the Mars Express orbiter that carried it to the red Planet, Beagle 2 was not heard from again.
It was not until 2015 that scientists discovered the Beagle had landed, but could not communicate after failing to deploy solar panels.
Esa isn't the only space agency to lose a spacecraft on the way to Mars.
Part of Nasa's Mariner mission, the Mariner 8 was supposed to send images and data back from the red planet.
Instead, a launch failure in 1971 meant that it ended up in the Atlantic Ocean without making it into space.
In 1999, Nasa's Mars Climate Orbiter disintegrated in the Martian atmosphere.
The space probe ventured to close to the atmosphere following a software programming error.
Following the successful launch the Sputnik satellite, the Soviets attempted to send the Mars1M to the red planet in 1960m but a technical failure shortly after take off meant that it broke up before it reached orbit, and a second launch, the Mars 1M No. 2, also failed.
In 1962, the Sputnik 22 probe, was lost in low Earth orbit, while both Sputnik 23 and and 24 also failed to make it to Mars.
In 1969, the Soviets' Mars 1969A exploded shortly after launch over the Altai Mountains.
A month later, the Mars 1969B suffered a similar fate, crashing back to the ground just 41 seconds after launch.
In 1971, the Kosmos 419 also failed to make it out of low Earth orbit.
Later that year, the Soviets' Mars 2 lander made it to the red planet but crashed and was lost.
A series of failures followed, ending with Mars 7.
After launching in 2011, China's Yinghuo-1, which was the country's first and only attempt at reaching Mars, failed to make it out of Earth orbit and eventually broke up over the POacific Ocean.
In 1998, Japan launched the Nozomi probe, which made it to Mars in 2003, but failed to make it into Martian orbit.
Contact was later lost.
