Scientists are saying that Beagle 2 may have ended up in a crater about a km wide. They say it would be really bad luck but we all know how Sod's law works.

Note to self: Check pictures of landing site for huge craters before sending multi-million-dollars probe in.

:) Apparently they claim that they had no chance of detecting craters that small :D

Ok, you try landing a damn space probe.

Time to send the humans, like we always should have. :rolleyes:

Honestly, it would only cost 10 billion to send a four man team to mars for two years. That includes extra provisions and the like. 10 Billion. That's it. NASA chews through that in a year. :mad:

Four men, tight quarters, no women, two years.


The poor, poor bastards.



Dunno where you're getting your figures, though. It costs ten billion for a congressman to take a good, long **** here, I can't imagine a successful initial Mars mission costing anything less than twice that.

Maybe if the Russians did it, now, ten billion might be accurate, maybe even highish.

Who said no women? ;7

Edit: On second thought, two men, two women, tight quarters, [three] years (total)....

Those poor, poor bastards. :shaking:

Someone should tell Bush that al-Quaeda supporting martians blew up Beagle2 and that there's oil on Mars. Let's see what happens then.:D

anyway this is not a thread for bashing Bush, it's a thread for bashing the european space agency's landing of a probe that is worth more than me in a hole thus negateing it.
