Re: Mars Express and Beagle 2

Its ironic that the mission was suppose to be looking for signs of life on Mars

and now the project team is desparately looking for signs of life from Beagle 2.

If my artistic talents were better I would draw a cartoon of Beagle 2 sitting on the surface of mars, next to the oblisque from 2001, being bashed into pieces by martian monkeys wielding large bones. :c)

BTW - these failures really make you appreciate what it takes to pull off a mission like this (the sucessful ones)

When they were not able to repeat the Wright brothers flight earlier this month, inspite of modern aerospace knowledge, millions of dollars of funding, and a hundred years of experience over the Wright brothers

for me, it made me appreciate all the more the genius of those two bicycle mechanics, making their last ditch effort before going home to ohio for the winter - Orville and Wilber had the Wright Stuff :^)

never take anything for granted!
