Here are a few one-liners I've received regarding the recent failure of the Mars Polar Lander. These are jokes which are funny, but which didn't really warrant posting separately. I post such a digest whenever I have enough entries to warrant it. Particularly selective readers will probably not enjoy the digests, and may want to killfile RHF jokes with "Digest" in the title - ed.

The recent failures of NASA's Mars Polar Orbiter and Mars Lander
expeditions, built under the "faster,better,cheaper" program, would seem
to confirm the old engineering adage:

"Faster, better, cheaper - pick any two."

The loss of three space craft to Mars (one due to metric error) worth
well over a billion dollars, kind puts a whole new spin on the cliche
"it doesn't take a rocket scientist... "
