  Not really we... Just very few people, most of us have no idea how they've done it.

    But we all paid for it. We paid tax so they could play with toys.

      In the time you've spent whining on this forum, you could have made many times your proportional contribution to this endeavor. I'm in agreement w/ all the downvoters here - you are absolutely entitled to whatever opinion you desire to hold, but if you're going to be sharing it in a public forum, deliver sound criticism or don't bother. Your comments are beneath the quality of conversation expected at HN.

  It really is mind blowing. The degree of intergovernmental co-operatoin is incredible. The lander electronics has Hungarian know how, brought there by Hungarian scientists. Radiation-protected processors are American. The whole thing is supervised by Germany together with France. Absolutely fantastic.
