fucking $200,000,000 to build it and they couldn't spend $40 for tires from Wal-Mart?

It's because of Affirmative Action at NASA. They bought the tires for $40 but then the niggers wanted to put $300 million dollar platinum spinner rims on them.
They forgot the wheels on the Mars Phoenix! Damn human beings! Why can't you be infallible like GOD?!?

Phoenix is a LANDER, not a ROVER. Nothing it's doing requires it to move around.
One of the future missions, though, will be able to fly to other research sites, enabling it to cover hundreds of kilometers as opposed to about 10km the current rovers cover over their lifetimes.

Their cost saving measures will come back and bite them in the ass when it files a disability claim.
Just imagine, >>8, if you didn't have any wheels. How would you feel if you were the Phoenix Lander, huh?
All alone on a foreign deserted planet with only yourself to keep you company. Wouldn't you want the ability to move around? Jeez, you need to GTFU or GTFO.
BTW, FTW, THIS SHIT IS SAGED 2 BACK OF BUS.
