It seems that the
only way to get a beagle to shut up is to send it to Mars.
Sorry to hear it.

I hope they hear from the Beagle very soon. I mean, this thing is on MARS for goodness sakes. MARS. That's really far away. [/understatement off] I can't believe it. It's wonderful.
To: RWR8189
Me thinks it crashed and went BOOM.
Too bad.

Doesn't look good for Beagle. Sad to say that this dog isn't going to hunt. If they haven't heard from it by now, I doubt they ever will. : (

No wonder it didn't report back.
Who wants to report, "London, Mother base. The Beagle has landed."

What is it with all of these pocket-protector stumblebums that they can't get a damned lander on the ground there anymore? Jeez, they used to be able to phone that sort of thing in.
To: RWR8189
Yep, the local LGM Union has another source of off-planet parts.....

If Beagle 2 is alive it will transmit at a frequency of 401.56 Mhz. "401.56 Mhz?! I thought you said design it for 401.56 Khz!!"

If Beagle 2 is alive it will transmit at a frequency of 401.56 Mhz.Well, I'll turn on my scanner. If I hear anything, I'll give them a call.
To: RWR8189
Well maybe the "Beatles Long Silence" is because they broke up years ago and two of them died!
I wish the BBC would check their facts!
To: RWR8189
This is such a shame.

The British Beagle fell down the well.
Time to send Lassie!
To: Riley
I'm not normally comfortable making fun of the way that people look but, when I saw a picture of the project leaders of the Beagle2 team, I knew it was doomed.Some geeks you look at and think "There's a steely-eyed missile-man: maybe he can't throw a baseball but I guarantee he's been over every byte of his re-entry program 34 times."
Some of the people on the Beagle2 team look like they were probably making bongs out of spare parts of the test craft.
I'll be very, very surprised if they ever hear from it.
maybe it ran aground

The Brits probably could have succeeded if they didn't have the euro-trash in on the project. They have their own wingnuts too but know how to rein them in.
The French really wanted this to be huge. They wanted to show up the US bigtime. Now all we need is just one of our two probes to get the job done!

Maybe it landed on the American flag the astronauts left there. (/democrat idiotic statements off)

How many of these disappearing probes do we need before we admit it? There are Martians down there, and they don't like these things getting too close.
To: RWR8189
It's a little known fact that many Beagle parts came from a junkyard MG Midget.

Generally, if they haven't heard from it by now, they're not going to ever hear from it.
Why is it that so many of our craft going to Mars have gone silent recently? (No, I'm not having a "tinfoil hat moment".)
