As the mission directors said, "landing with airbags is an embarrassing and crass way to land. Landing thrusters are the only way any self-respecting alien wants to go."

(and i suspect that the money is jewish...)
why to pretend that they land it near the pyramids when they don't have pictures with pyramids; then to show what;
