Beagle II Successfully Separates
Control42 writes "After the long journey out, it seems that little Beagle II, the lander of the Mars express mission has successfully separated. If all goes well, the lander should touch down on Christmas Day. Seems that NASA has actually lost the edge in robotic space exploration." Reader chalker writes "In order to build public interest in the Mars Exploration Rovers 2004 missions landing in January, NASA has released a series of movie trailers (Flash enabled page, Windows Media and Quicktime formats) for what they are calling "M2K4". They contain quite amazing animations of the landings, as well as a professional artistic style typically seen in action movie trailers.
Additional videos on the launch, cruise, and landing challenges can be found at the JPL based mission site."
it is robotics, that is all. NASA was just the first to send one out, there was no special technology.

Obviously it's a yet another Bush conspiracy to rule the minds of men. Go ahead and start bitching about how much he sucks now before everyone else starts. Oh, too late.
The Europan Union could pass America by. Provided they can unite work together.
Of course you could expect an Englishman to write something like "NASA's lost the edge." They are just bitter because the UK is just a shell of its former self.
Indeed, it is mainly the french and german euro-faggots sitting in Belgium sticking more fucking shitty laws down our necks. Most people in England are more than happy with normal imperial units, but it's now illegal for a market-trader to sell in lbs or gallons. The worst thing Britain ever did was get involved with continental europe. It should of definitely went to the commonwealth instead of europe which i can't stand to be honest.
