It is remarkable

Donald — 7/3/2004 9:01:16 PM (archived)

The rovers have been amazingly successful. After our buddy Barry DeGregorio panned the whole mission because it was "geology" rather than "biology," and after he eulogized the reckless, now lost, Beagle 2 "mission," its wonderful to see. You'll notice that he and his "ICAMSR" have pretty much dropped out of site - having become disreputable and discredited. In fact he hasn't updated his website for almost nine months.

All I can say is..."Go MER!"
