Did you determine any specific causes of the parachute tears observed during the last test?

This technology development is the second step in about a 12-step program to eventually land humans on Mars. These technologies will get us to two to three tons on Mars. For humans we will need 15 to 40 tons a shot. So more technology development will follow.

Upcoming planned human Mars exploration missions are a one-way ticket. :P

Sad, but it makes the sacrifice all the more nobler.
