Professor's BEAGLE lost for 10 years FOUND ON MARS

The long-lost, dustbin-lid sized British Mars lander Beagle 2 - whose fate had been unknown since it departed from its Mars Express mothership in orbit above the red planet on Christmas Day 2003 - seems likely to have been found at last. The UK Space Agency has scheduled a press briefing on the Beagle for Friday and is …

With the world space market likely to grow to at least £400 billion by 2030, the UK needs to stay in the game and build on its growing success. Our investment at this ESA Ministerial is targeted towards a smart mix of commercial opportunity and inspiring exploration. This confirms the UK as the forward-looking and business-friendly ‘place for space’ - especially as many of the projects will fuel the burgeoning UK Space Gateway at Harwell, Oxford. ….. said Dr David Parker, Chief Executive of the UK Space Agency. …… https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-space-industry-set-to-rocket-with-over-200-million-of-new-investment-for-europes-space-programme

"Operational ... Environment, which ... is perceived as Reality"

You said :-) Why the idea of calling anyone, isn't it a personal device with personal, hmm, mind-settings?

Bah!

NASA should prioritize a rover mission to nip over and graffiti-up this UK dustbin lid by writing in the dust covering it.

I suggest "Wot, no wheels?" and the obligatory "Clean Me".

Main photograph...

If that's anything to go by, it seems they'd forgotten to put it on the spacecraft and just discovered they'd left it behind in the lab.

British eggface lander's resting place ...

Jees, come on chaps, credit where it due. Near misses count for something in this game.

[Roj Blake]

Re: British eggface lander's resting place ...

But it wasn't a near miss. It seems to have hit Mars.

Is it in a pit?

Cos I met this guy at the British Experimental Rocket Group. Name was Quartermain, or Candlemass, or somesuch. Anyway he says whatever we do don't bring it back to Earth.

[Anonymous Coward]

Hopefully they will find a nearby crater and name it Colin.

[Martin Budden]

I suspect there is a small crater directly underneath which wasn't there 11 years ago.

Dustbin lid-sized

I think the key point is that it's dustbin lid-sized.

We all thought the Clangers lived on a small moon - but, no, it turns out they're on Mars, and they appropriated Beagle 2 to use to cover one of their entrances.

[solaries]

Sure took a long time to discover Beagle's remains. Just wondering what NASA is covering up by the way that they sabotaged this probe just my speculation.

It's Still Working

I reckon that the only thing that was damaged on landing was its comms array. It's been working away for the last decade doing some great science, but it can't tell us about it.

[ScottAS2]

Was it that the impact on landing was too high, and caused the ram pack to wobble?

[After the Tone]

We all know what happened. When the pictures are released I bet we see the footprint of a Decepticon.

[cortland]

Doomed from the start? Aye, but a good try still.

[HOW many?]

Must've been an astronomer who coined the phrase?

Small world eh?
