Re:Beagle2
Great!
I was wondering how it went. Brittish (or British led) space exploration seems a bit weird with mainly the US and Russia doing all the exploring in the past. BUt to call it Beagle2 almost makes it a joke!
Until that is, you realise that the main experimentation activity will be to investigate the possibility of life on mars and that th ship was called Beagle2 after the name of the ship that Darwen traveled in on his voyage of discovery just before he published his theories on the origin of the species.
I hope it all goes well. Six months before they land, it’s a long wait! :/
