In terms of Mars

Client wants a robot to go to Mars
Project is budgeted and sold to send a Mars Rover
Work starts and after successful test the robot is shown to customer. Customer states he wants to send a Mechwarriors in a drop ship, not a little Pathfinder.
Panic, change requests, money being discussed, rockets are being strapped together with duct tape and the rover is bolted on an old Asimo that is being rebuilt into the smallest Mechwarrior ever the day before launch
Mech Asimo lands successfully, stumbles and falls on a rock after three steps
Customer disappointed
