Phoenix landing site woes
Quote:

Aviation Now and The Rocky Mountain News have reported on two problems facing the Phoenix Mars lander, which is supposed to launch this summer: a $10 to $35 million cost overrun (which, though not at all trivial, does have an easy enough fix, though the future consequences to other Mars missions may be tough to stomach) and a serious hazard within the planned landing region (which is harder to fix).
