Good Grief! (A highly appropriate expression, I feel !) When you put "farewell" I thought they'd lost their small dog. -- Rabbit arithmetic - 1 plus 1 equals 10 Remove spam and invalid from address to reply. |

Hopefully this Beagle will safely reach terra firma (or should I say ares firma?) after his dance with the Red Baron. I'm be eagerly awaiting Christmas morning. -- Hop David http://clowder.net/hop/index.html |

Hopefully you don't get to hear those live sounds from the Martian Polar Cap that go "w-h-i-i-z-z-z-k-e-e-r-r-B-O-O-M!" It would by really fun to see them pull this off. Pat |

news:%R7Fb.103287$8y1.317795@attbi_s52... The mission manager for Beagle 2 is Dr. Mark Sims of the University of Leicester http://www.beagle2.com/resources/contact.htm I met Dr. Sims (next seat) on a transatlantic flight this September - best 9 hour plan flight that I have ever had ! It pays to pay attention I happened to be standing near some of the investigators for the Hubble Telescope when it launched, but I hadn't done my homework. We chatted about lots of *other* things, but it wasn't until I got home and saw the news where the folks were identified. The t-shirt with "high-speed photometer" wasn't enough of a clue :P Sure was pretty, though. The launch, not the goofy-looking guy with the t-shirt. -- If you have had problems with Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), please contact shredder at bellsouth dot net.

OM That is exactly what I thought - the dead giveaway was 30 minutes into the flight the pulled out his laptop - and brought up notes from the space conference in New Mexico he had just attended (and changed planes in Chicago). Of course, I was reading Tom Clancy's latest novel, "The Teeth of the Tiger" - which I put down. An interesting way to spend Christmas ... at Beagle 2 Mission Control (finding out if you received presents or a lump of coal) gb |
