1/2 28 years ago, one of the most valuable science missions landed on the Red Planet. NASA Pathfinder proved many new, innovative, and valuable approaches and exploration techniques. IMHO, Pathfinder (and its Sojourner rover) was the most important space robotic mission as it opened the door to innovative solutions to so many other amazing science challenges.

"While proposed bases on the Moon or Mars might get all the headlines, there's another equally hostile and largely unknown location a lot closer to home that explorers are looking towards: the bottom of the ocean."
