JPL's success in landing the low-cost Mars Pathfinder rover in 1997 was hailed as proof that spacecraft could be built more frequently and for much less money. A radical cultural shift that the Administration dubbed "Faster, Better, Cheaper."
This era also coincided with the discovery of Martian rock that hinted at the possibility of microbial life elsewhere in the solar system. NASA's response was to ensure a steady stream of missions to Mars—all at minimal cost. In fact, the next task JPL took on was to launch two Mars missions for the price of one Pathfinder.
The Mars Climate Orbiter and Mars Polar Lander reached the launch pad on time and on budget. But what happened to the spacecraft after launch? "The Tipping Point" tells the story of these two missions and the abrupt end of NASA's "Faster, Better, Cheaper" era.
