I can't find the quote right now, but someone pointed out that the Mars lander is powered by radioactive decaly, has a laser to vaporize rock for analysis, and has a flattened shape compared to most spacecraft, and characterizes the situation as

"We have landed a flying saucer armed with an atomic death ray on Mars".

I mean, monster trucks are cool and all, but this is cooler.
