Mars does have some atmosphere. Depending on speed and angle of entry you're gonna need at least some attitude control at the start to get your
heat-shielded belly front and centre.
blackaeronaut, the main problem on Mars is its lack of a magnetic field. Solar winds strip more atmosphere from the planet than anything else. I asume someone
dipped into the Xavier Protocols and placed a web of magnetic field satellites in orbit at least. No-one in Fenspace has working nanomachines yet. And would
YOU trust an aerosol of handwavium to do it? And not mod all the settlers?
