Jodrell Bank Telescope Gets No Signal From Beagle
tipiyano writes "Continuing the story of Beagle 2 from earlier today it seems like the hope for Beagle 2 surviving the landing at Mars is reducing as the Jodrell Bank telescope didn't receive any signal from Beagle. In the words of a mission manager, 'I wasn't too worried about the missed link with Odyssey, but it starts getting serious if Jodrell Bank cannot get a signal either'."
Lunix?!?! Is that even an OS?
No. The answer is "no".
I would beg to ask which OS you suggest they run, but then I'd have to explain that "TV's Incredible Hulk" is not an OS.
It's Jodrell Bank guys. please fix the spelling in the headline.
No, there's the third.
After conquering the desktop, (almost) the server room, the media/music industry and mobile phones, Microsoft are now turning their gaze towards space.

I wonder if it was running BSD? ;-P

Fact: Beagle2 is dead
Why? Is it running FreeBSD?

The real reason Neil Armstrong didn't crash is that the moon landings were staged. A good script adds in the odd life threatening scenario that the heroes have to overcome. A good script doesn't kill the heroes off before they achieve the impossible.
