Mariner 8 var ein romsonde i det amerikanske Marinerprogrammet. Romsonden var meint å senda bilete og data frå Mars, men kom aldri så langt. Ferda enda etter seks minutt då det øvste trinnet av Atlas-Centaur-bereraketten byrja å spinne ute av kontroll og kvelte brenselmotoren og sendte dermed Mariner 8 i Atlanterhavet 560 km nord for Puerto Rico.[1]

[Mariner 9] was the first spacecraft to enter orbit around another world. ... [It] continues to orbit Mars to this day, sailing around the planet deaf and dumb in the cold darkness. ... [Mariners 1-10 were] a demonstration of what a bargain these early missions were. For a total cost of $554 millions, the inner solar system had been opened, and brilliantly.»
