What? No talk about the Mars Rover?
 

I for one am very happy that this mission is turning out to be a great success. I don't see much difference in the Mars landscape since the Last one, but I guess that was to be expected.

I just hope that 'Sleepy Hollow' doesn't turn out to be quicksand http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

What do you all think of the mission so far?

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I've been a big NASA fan since I was 6, when men were landing on the moon. I'm glad we've finally got a successful mission to Mars in the past few years. Don't know what it is about Mars and space missions. Maybe someone doesn't want us snooping up there?

Well they just aren't interesting unless they fail for some innane reason. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

I think things will get much more interesting once the rover starts roving. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

So when is the rover going to start driving around, exploring?

Sh*t that thing didn't land on Mars. It's sitting in my Uncle Bob's back 40 in lower Texas. He has been taking pot shots at it with his varment rifle. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

All I can say is it is about time they succeeded. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I guess the new calculators worked.

Full credit to NASA for landing Spirit. I think that the initial photos are phenomenal, and look forward to some even better shots when the rover starts trundling around. Even better when Opportunity lands.

Over this side of the pond, we are a bit gutted that our very own British Beagle 2, which landed (or was meant to) on Christmas Day, has disappeared off the face of the planet. They are going to try and contact it again over the next week, but if it does not get in contact by 14 Jan, all bets are off (apparently) - is it the intervention of little green men or just bloody bad luck??
