Regarding the missing Beagle, the orbiter that was part of that mission is returning fantastic science, and it looks like they found the Beagle, it may have landed on the side of a crater, which is tough, but it was programmed to land in a much more difficult area than our rovers did.

Plus, we have lost our share of landers.

That's real smart---land in a difficult area or do as common sense dictates, land in a more hospitable area and drive to the difficult stuff, hmmm.

Also, you must check out the esa's site design: http://www.esa.int/esaHS/index.html
Across the top of the so-called euroweenie's human spaceflight page shows American footprints on the Moon.
