Astronomers are planning a close up of Mars from a balloon.
The chances of success are slim due to the stability of the balloon on Mars and dwindling funds for Mars Exploration. Our friend Zubrin though "thinks the German craft has the best immediate promise of the Mars balloon projects in the works. Dr. Zubrin sees the craft as a trailblazer for more elaborate, longer-lived future balloons, much as NASA's 1997 Sojourner rover paved the way for Spirit and Opportunity."
