That was a big disappointment for all. Very unfortunate.

... and lets not forget the Earth's global resistance force to these alien invaders, else know as MiLF hunters.

Sounds more like Mars is spotted, y'know, with smudges of what used to be a very expensive probe.

If post #17 don't do it, #27 sure as heck will!
That's okay. I have more toys than I know what to do with. ;-)

I just want to know. After we terraform and colonize Mars. Who's going to go around picking all this junk up?

Dog fur coats are the rage now in Europe, according to a post last Friday or Saturday. Talk about being deflated.
To: manwiththehands
Why couldn't they name it "Snoopy"? Might have something to do with a Brit named Darwin, and the ship he explored from was the HMS Beagle.
To: stacytec
I think you're really off on the score. NASA and the Soviet Union's lost more than a few. Let me think - Oh, yeah,
NASA's kilometers v. miles screwup for one.
Beagle 2's "mother ship" was having some minor difficulties deploying some instruments, and the Japanese probe in the
same launch window as Beagle 2 got zapped, albeit, by the Sun, rendering it a piece of space debris when it got to Mars.
OTOH, NASA's been been on a winning streak with Mars missions, avoiding the GGG factor.

Even a crash site provides information for futher study. There is a NASA program for development of programs that use space probes that have completed their mission but still have some life in them.
