Just want to give a shout out to the homies at NASA and JPL for this stunning success. Congrats!

Btw, I didn't even know there were any other Beagle 2-like missions such as this until I channel surfed upon the MERs' (there are 2 rovers on the US mission) PBS special this evening.

I saw the pictures on a news program, about freaking time!

This stuff just blows my mind. Sounds like you're a jaded space buff

My dad works for JPL and he is happy.

(Though he did not work on the project, it helps boost JPL's validity)

He has been trying for years to get a mission to Venus without success. He says the Mars guys keep taking his funding!

Write your local senators and congress men and ask for a JPL mission to Venus!

Hey, small world Czilla9000. Fancy that having space guys at Head-fi

I hope that wasn't your dad's rocket they used for Opportunity.
