Another Beagle?
« on: May 16, 2008, 12:11:29 PM »
One imagines there will be a few sweaty eggheads at NASA next Sunday when this is supposed to land.

Will it be another Beagle? Will we be able to go  point: at the yanks?

I hope it lands safely but if it ends up scatterred over the landscape I will be the first to go  point: at the yanks.

'cos I bet they went  point: at us.  angry041:

Depends, if it just has parachutes then it has a chance but if Snoops exploits are anything to go by, any kind of flying machine and it will crash faster then Windows.  whistle:

Any landing that the pilot walks away from counts as a good landing in my book.

Wimmin will be nagging the pilot to ask someone for directions before they've passed the moon.  ::)

I imagine with all the mixed gender crews on the shuttle some couple must have been the first in history to participate in Zero G fornication.

Has anyone admitted it i wonder? YouTube clip?
