LONDON, England (AP) -- Scientists have ruled out two possible explanations for their inability to pick up signals from Europe's Beagle 2 Mars probe and discovered another -- a large crater where the vessel was supposed to land.
The European team has received no transmissions from the craft, which was supposed to touch down on the distant planet on Christmas Day to begin its search for Martian life.

It's probably off chasing a Martian rabbit. It'll be home around dinner time...

It's in the Martian Museum for Alien Space Probes... The museum has the most rapidly growing collection of these probes on Mars.

How many chunks of hardware does that make that we've dumped on Mars? Works fine until it gets there, then, nothing! It is clear to me that the Martians don't want to talk to us.

"It is clear to me that the Martians don't want to talk to us."You're suggesting a kind of Martian version of the "Do Not Call Registry"? Interesting theory. Hmmm ... its almost as if we're seen to them as no more than an annoying telemarketer.
On another note, I vote we send Barbra Streisand up to investigate.

It's in the Martian Museum for Alien Space Probes... Actually it's in Area 63. (Martians have four fingers on each hand, you see.)
