Of course, if ESA had landed Beagle II safely, we (and I) would all be
saying they were geniuses for doing it for 1/10 the cost of the NASA
rovers.

Okay....this has finally bugged me enough...

The Beagle probe alone cost 80 million for just one probe....

We got TWO rovers for 800 million (PLUS the orbiter)...

Which orbiter? Isn't Mars Odyssey a separate mission, with a separate
budget?
