Curiosity

Universe: Haha! Humans shall never land a large vehicle on Mars!
Humans: Yes we shall! We are teh awesumz!
Universe: You shall not! I shall cover Mars with an atmosphere, so that your vehicle will burn up on entry!
Humans: Nice try universe, but we shall put an awesumz Heat Shield on the front of our vehicle!
Universe: No matter! I will make the atmosphere so thin that it will not provide enough resistance to slow down your vehicle, causing it to crash into the surface and explode!
Humans: We shall attach an awesumz Giant Parachute to slow it down!
Universe: That will not be enough! Fools! The atmosphere is too thin to allow Giant Parachute to slow down the vehicle sufficiently for a safe landing!
Humans: No matter! We shall attach awesumz Giant Rockets to our vehicle, to slow the descent even more!
Universe: That will only kick up a giant cloud of dust, which will cover your vehicle when it lands! You cannot win!
Humans: We shall lower the vehicle from the Giant Rocket device using awesumz Giant Sky Crane! Bwahaha! We shall prevail!
Universe: It will never work! such a complex mechanism is bound to fail!
Humans: We shall hire many awesumz Super Smart Scientists, to build everything perfectly, and pay lots of awesumz Super Smart Computer Nerds lots of money to write lines and lines of code, ensuring that everything goes smoothly!
Universe: Bah! It will never work! My laws of physics are working against you, at every step!
Humans: We are Humans, and we are teh awesumz! Screw you universe, and your laws of physics too! We shall manipulate you to achieve our own desires! Nothing can stop us!
