Great Galactic Ghoul

Great Galactic Ghoul
A notional space monster invoked to explain the high failure rate of probes sent to Mars.

2004: Considering the billions of dollars worth of spacecraft that the Great Galactic Ghoul has eaten in the past, the UK’s Beagle 2, at about $70 million, must have seemed like an insignificant little morsel—like eating a couple of grapes, when one really wants to have a T-bone steak.
