I wonder if this is what Beagle 2 looks like now?

I hope I am wrong, but... of course it never sent back any information, so I suppose it doesn't matter what it looks like. Some future archaeologist astronauts will discover its ultimate fate.

I am also waiting to see how long before Hoaxland and his ilk use these images to declare that NASA now has proof of a crashed flying saucer on Mars.

Will Opportunity or Spirit ever go visit the part of the aeroshell that came down with its parachute? I know Opportunity took some distant images of its component.

    - Looks more like bouncing than skidding. - Tom Brosz - 12/22/2004 6:40:03 PM
