I dunno, that "veejer" is kinda scary....

Kidding aside, I second the votes for the lunar landers, Viking I and II, and especially the Mars Rover.

I'd also add the famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) "Mars Meteorite" (ALH84001). It may yet prove to be the biggest wonder in history.
