Mars Flier Prototype
SEWilco writes "BBC News reports that a full-scale prototype of a Mars flier will be built. The ARES glider will unfold in midair for a mission which may cover 850 km (528 miles). I wonder if its huge wings would allow it to be tossed back in the air by a storm in that thin air, although probably not by "winds of a few m/sec"."
fuck the cslib menace
Fourth Post!!
Could we have made that flag on the flier any bigger? I mean, after all those probes we sent to Mars, the Martians should be able to recognize our flag by now!

Sadly, Mr. Torvallieds gave in to the homo-erotic urges he had been
having whilst thinking of Taco and Hemos gang-banging Mr Neil. You
see, this is how the Taco jizz ended up all over this P15t fR05t
Hmm.... taco and malda jizz have exactly the same area coverage. How do you ever tell them apart?
I have some advice:
Bombs kill at least 22 in downtown Casablanca; "There were bodies mutilated all over the place," one witness said. "Everybody is very shocked."
Oh, better start another war on terrorism. This time it's serious. It's not your way of living, it's your way of being arrogant.
How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life

Please refrain from wasting mod points in the future.
