ESA's Beagle 2 Hits Signal Snag

Talking Goat writes "Space.com is reporting that the European Space Agency has run into a bit of a problem with it's recently launched "Beagle 2" spacecraft. An unexpected signal received from the probe has concerned controllers, and has delayed further systems checks. Let's hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come; history hasn't been kind to past Mars probes."

Another doomed probe?

They just don't get it yet at the ESA, or NASA that the Zhti Ti Kofft are tired of us spying on them. We probably know about as much about Mars as they plan to let us discover.

That's because the above named editior is a dumb cunt. I submitted a story about earth froming earlier than thought, had a decent write up, and a good attached article. Rejected, presumably by queer since it was his shift and all the articles around the same time had his name on them. 2 weeks later, some worthless write up and a link to a CNN (Real in-depth reporting there, especially on tech. and space) article is approved by said oxygen thief. But, he does keep us up to date on the lastet Buff-Me the Vampire Thumper or whatever news... Fag.
