Nice interpretation of the pictures.
"Took you long enough"? I find it odd that the U.S. and Russia are the only countries to have been able to orbit Mars and now over the years actually land on Mars with the U.S. having the greater success, and yes I do realize that China and the UAE are already there.
A small fleet of spacecraft from the United Arab Emirates, China, and the United States will reach Mars this month after launching from Earth last year. The march to the Red Planet marks a marathon of firsts: it’s the UAE’s first foray into deep space, China’s first independent attempt to land on Mars, and NASA’s first shot at deploying a Martian helicopter.
