Mars Crater Theory Tries To Explain Missing Beagle

Posted by simoniker on from the put-face-on-mars'-eye-out dept.

JayBonci writes "CNN is running a piece regarding the failure of the Beagle Mars probe being possibly attributed to a crater landing. It's an interesting story about the variety of forensics being used to try and pick up on the lost craft."

    I think all space related failures should be blamed on the lack of funding NASA receives. Soldiers don't need guns. They need to be sent out weapon less and that extra money should go to the space program.

    I am not trolling I really believe this. Huzzah!

    Why are we spending money to send things to mars? Do we really care if there is bacterial life on mars any way?

    Still better than killing people in a crapy shuttle.

    They converted from metric to metric incorrectly... Lets see... Guy at ESA: "were approaching at 2000km/h" Other Guy at ESA "In M/S you idiot!" Guy at ESA "hrmm lets see, you divide by 1001" Other Guy at ESA "damnit we crashed"

    Perhaps the crater was caused by the beagle crash landing??

    You deserve all the shit and disrespect you receive here. Isn't it clear to you yet that your opinion isn't worth crap here ?

    No, you're probably too busy trying to make goofy aqua crap that no one will use, making 4th grade anime jokes, whining about outsourcing, sobbing about RedHat and pretending to be Jakob Nielsen to notice that.

    My mistake. Go back to crying and whining.

    Don't flatter yourself. Take a look at your own posting history and replies to them...I wasn't aware of how much a wiseass curmudgeon you were until someone else pointed it out to me. Ironically, I seem to remember it being in a thread where you accuse some other jamoke for "following" you. Apparently there's a trend.

    Get over yourself. If you're gonna post idiotic statements, you're gonna get flamed, simple as that. The fix: post something that has some sort of intelligent fact, not self-centered diatribe.

    Slashdot. News for people who can't get the point. Stuff that doesn't matter.

    Are we going to have to put up with repetitive regurgitative stories about Beagle 2 on into the new year as well? NOBODY FUCKING CARES!
