Great video of the landing sequence [which you may or may not have already seen] plus a full explanatory commentary from NASA scientists as to why this seemingly complicated methodology is used.

If it fails?
Well then they need to look at the physics again of landing a craft of above certain mass on the red planet.
If at first you don't succeed, etc.
Naturally their time frame of gathering scientific information from Mars and a manned landing would be set back some.

If it succeeds?
Great!!!
But continued research will obviously be ongoing especially with the goal of a future manned landing.

My wishes and suggestions?
A united Earth endeavour to reach the red planet.
[Despite NASA's continued successes of late, two heads [or more] are always better then one!
