Great Martian Ghoul strikes MGS?

Well folks, is it a technical glitch that caused MGS to go dark, or has the Great Martian
Ghoul struck again? His last meal was Beagle 2, so he probably needed a snack.

It did last 10-years. Maybe NASA should have purchased the extended
warranty?

Ron just got the latest IofW notice into s.s.news -- perhaps MGS' last
great service is trying drown the spam?

That's what leads me to believe it *wasn't* the GMG. MGS lived to a ripe
old age; GMG likes 'em young.

Nah. MGS has been at Mars for a decade. The Statute of Limitations has
expired on the Ghoul's culpability.

....Actually, the loss of Beagle 2 merely proved that the GMG is
apparently Korean, because that dog obviously got wok'd.
