Still no word from Beagle 2 but I think the next contact attempt is 1/7/04. But in a little of 30 minutes from now NASA's Rover will be landing on the Martian surface.
Any one want to bet if it makes it or not?

I was really wondering about why there were so many failures with these things. Little green men, or just Murphy's Law?
Some ex-astronaut (don't remember who) gave an interview a few months ago and talked about how they went to the moon with pencils, paper and slide rules. A bit of exaggeration but his point was that the 60s were a time of great imagination and do-anything attitude, which had become stifled by the bureaucracy of NASA today.

I'm so excited that Rover has landed. I can hardly wait until the pictures start coming. Wouldn't it be amazing if it came across some manufactured artifact, not left by a previous earth mission? That would sure put the world in a tizzy.

well they found life on mars, microscopic, but apparently life. While here on earth we debate whats considered abortion, are we killing a life or just the fetus, but we found on mars though.
