LONDON Dec. 26 ó A NASA spacecraft orbiting Mars failed on Friday to pick up a signal that would confirm the survival of the European Mars lander Beagle 2, a British agency said.
The Beagle, designed to search for signs of life on Mars, is believed to have landed shortly before 10 p.m. EST Wednesday, but three efforts to pick up its signal have now failed.

We are not supposed to go there.

I think we know where it went. Art Bell has been telling us this stuff for years. We need to leave well enough alone.

I think "They" grabbed it before it could send any info back.

I found a update on the story here.

Thank you, Jim. I was trying to post in the middle of a coughing fit. Not a good idea.

no prob.

Good link, 2dogs. NASA seems confident as ever that they'll get it back January 4th.

Of course with that much money at stake I can't blame them.

here's another one

Mars called home.

I'm watching it on Fox right now. EXCELLENT photos there!

I want that camera. They say they can blow up those pictures to the size of a movie screen and not lose any integrity.

Yay! We made it!

(This time!)

That is a long way to go just for a camera. Do you know what it cost?

I heard it was 80 or 90 million for the Mars stuff right now.

We have a photo! http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/press/spirit/20040104b/new_cyl-A1R1.jpg

purtty.

Sweet!

Mars is now for sale!

I will wait for them to put in Water and Sewer!!

It may be a little early for this but the talk is turning toward water near the Spirit Rover:

This is fun

That is a neat one. I've seen it somewhere before.

So there is nothing after a quark?

They are not sure evidence suggests there might be. But now we have no way of knowing. There was an accelerator ring being built I believe in the south west. But when it came up for financing our friends in Washington had enough money to either finish the project or shut it down. Guess what they did? Education takes another blow.

Looks like the green folks got another one.

They will need to send a repair crew up and get it going.

You get a screwdriver and I'll get a beater and we'll go fix it.

Ok. You drive and I will read the map!

We'll get Harold to drive he is the professional.

Careful! We may loose you guys too!

We could get it going. I have a lot of WD-40.

I got some bailing wire here. Got any gum?

No gum. I have some glue.

that really sucks! where is scully and mulder????

Little green guys got them too.

Better bring a grill it will be a long trip.

It's the Little Green Men messing with the Rover, so says Art Bell

Who is Art Bell?

Poor rover's last image.

Statistically, one out of four radios on at night are tuned to Art Bell's Coast To Coast. Or George Noory when he hosts.

See it here

Trips off they found it.

Good. I did not have enough time to go right now.

So everything is ok with the rover now?

Nope. It's not shutting down at night and sporadically reboots its system. A NASA official said the rover is in "critical conidition".

Latest news from Nasa Mars Site

Hours before NASA's Opportunity rover will reach Mars, engineers have found a way to communicate reliably with its twin, Spirit, and to get Spirit's computer out of a cycle of rebooting many times a day.

Spirit's responses to commands sent this morning confirm a theory developed overnight that the problem is related to the rover's two "flash" memories or software controlling those memories.

"The rover has been upgraded from critical to serious," said Mars Exploration Rover Project Manager Peter Theisinger at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Significant work is still ahead for restoring Spirit, he predicted.

Excellent, that is good to hear.

On TV right now on HGTV they have a show called Space Pads, rooms inspired by our travels.
