Construction Begins on Beagle 2

Posted by timothy on from the planetary-galapagos dept.

Bonker writes "CNN reports that Beagle 2, a lander that's part of ESA's next Mars mission, is beginning construction in England. The lander will be constructed in clean-room conditions to avoid being contaminated with any kind of terrestrial life so that it can more accurately determine if there is or was any kind of martian life once it arrives."

    Martians are humans that move to mars end evolve to the conditions there, then later travel back in time to make crop circles and anal probe the unsuspecting folks from Iowa.
