One problem with Mars being so far away is that glitches and problems that arise have to work themselves out. There are so many unexpected things that can happen and fixing them is not always an easy option. Mars Odyssey experienced a glitch that caused its system to reboot. The Mars Odyssey is responsible for receiving transmissions from two rovers on Mars. While it is expected that everything will be fine, Mars Odyssey is six years old.
