What? No talk about the Mars Rover?

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??
