You are joking?
1. It's a part of mars that hasn't been explored before, they are all searching for life and it is actually a whole planet.
2. Do you know what scientific packages they have?
3. You have to start somewhere...
4. The Europeans have tried it a number of times and have not succeeded, so quite an achievement.
Just wow, why would you belittle it?
