The Martian Mach 16 Jacket isn’t just made out of the single most high performance material in our solar system – it’s quite possibly the single most important material in human history so far. It started life as a hypersonic deep space parachute designed to land a multi-billion dollar mission a billion miles away on Titan – a place NASA thinks might be a likely future home. In 2005, after a 2.5 hour descent, it landed the first probe in the outer solar system, which is the furthest any human spacecraft had ever landed – dropping the Cassini-Huygens probe on a moon shrouded in methane monsoons
