Beagle 2: A Fortunate Failure

And that guy is supposed to be a professor? Of what? Americanism? He
may
as
well have just said "Only America knows how to do anything with
technology... All you other countries just go back to building mud
huts."
What a sarcastic ass.
....

Yeah I totally agree that it is possible to make a mission suffer through
a
tight budget, but I think the way the guy expressed his opinions was just
wrong.

And the fact that he put it in a gratuitous scoff at the authorship of
Shakespeare (the literary history equivalent of a UFO cult) doesn't do
anything to burnish his credibility...
