Nothing to show for it? They put an orbiter around mars that is loaded with scientific equipment. In fact, they will glean much more data from the orbiter than Beagle was going to give. Not bad for a first mission. All this idiotic taunting and acting like this is a football game is silly, its science, there is room for everyone.

And to think we have another lander going in on the 24th!

Who's leading the rah rah cheers? Sounds like you are. I'll revise my statement then and concentrate on the landers only.

And to remind them that their £140 million £45 million for Beagle is money down the drain with absolutely nothing to show for it, whereas our $820 million $400 million for Spirit will actually accomplish something.

I don't think £45 million is pocket change and it is clearly £45 million totally wasted for the simple want of a fully tested airbag.
