I'm not even going to ask where their vinyards are ...

And I'm guessing one city was smashed by the cruise stage, and the other by
the heat shield?

peace ...

Touchdown! ...ouch ...The ... Eagle ... has ... landed. Oh ...damn

Urgent release


From a few launch windows ago:

Valles Marineris (MPI) - A spokesthing for Mars Air Force denounced
as false rumors that an alien space craft crashed in the desert,
outside of Ares Vallis on Friday. Appearing at a press conference
today, General Rgrmrmy The Lesser, stated that "the object was, in
fact, a harmless high-altitude weather balloon, not an alien
spacecraft". (...)

That press release from the MAF, updated a preliminary press release,
which said that the phenomenon was either swamp gas or ball lightning.

Rumor has it a radio announcement from Radio Mars (station WMARS) announced
that the MDF (Martian Defense Forces) had requested all citizens to
immediately go underground, as to present a seemingly barren and
inhospitable-for-life terrain to the invaders -- "Nothing to see here, go
home. All these worlds are yours except for Europa and Mars".

The officials at the Red House are continuing to investigate the
uncorroborated reports of alien invaders.

So that's why Beagle isn't barking. Looking for swamp gas (methane) was
its most important job.
