The project was live for an impressive
two years and seven months, but ultimately it was a total fail. So, one out of ten for how well it worked. But how crazy was it? It seems nuts... but it turns out
that Hajile's retro rocket system was later adopted and perfected by NASA

and see which one goes to the top

to the surface of Mars.
00:00:23.398 --> 00:00:25.065
So, not as crazy
as you may have thought.
00:00:28.403 --> 00:00:29.032
That's impressive.
00:00:29.904 --> 00:00:31.364
