Sod - I was really hoping the Beagle would work but it looks like yet another Mars mission failure. Oh well, there goes 6 yrs work and £45 million of taxpayers money, sigh..........But never mind, the US mission will arrive there shortly and that's bound to work - isn't it?? Maybe the US probe can fix the Beagle for us 'cos the Martians obviously don't have the right size spanners :-)
