This is coming up pretty quick!

It will be an interesting month with this and the other two Mars missions from the UAE and China that should arrive in early February, along with whatever Starship goodness SpaceX sends our way.

This should be cool!

Makes one wonder how that thing is so far over budget and behind schedule...

I imagine they have to perform another green run once they figure out what happened. They didn't even get to test gimbaling.
