Yeah but thus far that dawg just ain't huntin man.

Personally I think they got some lill green men just watching them float down. When they land they run and and snip the wires that let them phone home.

So far, no response from the spacecraft.

It looks as if perhaps the Martian Space Defense system is still working. 30+ probes launched at it, 3 succesful landings.

dang Martians !

I was hoping this one would work out well. They have some pretty neat experiments that could have produced some excellent data. I read that all is not lost they still have a chance and that NASA is also trying to pick up its signal.

That's too bad...hopefully it's not lost for good!

I hear the communications module was made by Lucas.

Damn! Mars is a royal *****. Sorry you had to join the club this way but you're not alone.

hope is not lost. When the Express reaches it's polar orbit, IIRC it can also bouces signals to Beagle...

This again proves my theory that there are Martians, they are hostile, and in the 30s they really tried to invade Earth but were pusned back at great cost, and J Edgar Hoover covered it all up.

J Edgar WAS a martian - which explained the fascination for...er..."dressing up" shall we say.

I wonder if we could just license the martian defense system to use as our own ballistic missile shield. It might be cheaper then designing our own. Theirs seems more effective then ours.
