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.

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!
