If I'm not mistaken, we are in a record string of consecutive successes landing on Mars.

Mars is a deceptively challenging target to land on. It has an atmosphere which is thick enough to be a problem (requiring a heat shield) but not thick enough to be much of a help slowing down. Prior to the current string of successful landings, the success rate was only about 50%. We (the Americans) seem to have it licked now.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
