Is that a goof? Any other country successfully landed probes on a non-moon?

Sometimes the craziest ideas are the ones that work best. I wonder how long we'll have to wait until people start coming out of the woodwork claiming this is a hoax.
You kidding? There are people now who claim NASA's been covering up evidence of Martian cities since Viking 1 (or even the earlier Mariners). To them, MSL was a hoax since it was announced.
Rather frighteningly, I first met one of those people while we were both interns at Goddard Space Flight Center.

Right after it landed I went to check CNN and FoxNews, and other TV stations. Nothing. No mention of it. I was appalled.
