Mars Landing

[GommeInc]

I posted about this Mars rover when it was launched last year. It looks like the time has finally come, @GommeInc; Very happy it was successful.

Nice to see you, how have you been since November? It's amazing you remembered that

How on earth has he proposed to put a man on Mars by 2030 when he's slashed the budget? It just seems like something to say to please the masses. That said, it would have to be an international operation, so maybe he is relying on handouts from other nations?

All eyes on the UK because of the royal wedding. 2 days later Bin Laden is killed.
All eyes on the UK because of the olympics. 1 week later a rover hits mars.
You couldn't make it up :L

Anyway about the target to get a man on there by 2030, I personally see that as quite achievable.

Hahaha, I'm fine... currently on holiday in Florida! I wore my NASA t-shirt today before I even read the news - my family are big fans of the space program. I haven't really noticed much in the news since the space shuttle program was scrapped - of course it was costly, but it's one of the best ways to showcase the power of man whilst learning so much about alternative life. It's quite like the Concorde too (an amazing piece of engineering that's been discarded) - I can't help but feel we've regressed due to their terminations. Shame really.

Didn't we manufacture parts of the landing gear? That's probably why they were concerned, shoddy British engineering.

We make good aircraft engines and landing gear!

Suppose, although British engineering in general seems to be attacked all the time. It depends how much they believe The Simpsons, Family Guy and The IT Crowd
