I'll be honest; the title sounds like a porn remake of Frosty the Snowman.

Unlikely it would be Russia, they have a terrible Mars mission track record. Have they ever been completely successful? China's track record isn't to hot either for Mars. India maybe, MOM has been in orbit since the 24th of Sept. and that was their first attempt and it was cheap compared to other missions. USA's MAVEN beat MOM by 3 days and the science phase starts in November. Can't wait for all the great data to follow from both orbiters. Curiosity and Opportunity rovers are still up and running too. Next planned rover mission is scheduled for 2020.

Besides the US's other operational orbiters ESA's only successful mars mission orbiter is the only other functioning device.

Clearly, you are not sufficiently terrified of either ISIS or illegal immigrants...I vaguely recall reading somewhere on the internet that ISIS is now sneaking Ebola-infected terrorists to the moon through our border with Mexico. :shock:

I usually just go to Home Depot and flip through the sample book.
