Just wanted everyone to see how inaccurate the mass media reporting was today.
British Spacecraft Starts Final Leg of Mars Probe
The first sign scientists will have of the success or failure of their project will be when either Mars Express or the U.S. Mars mission rocket Mars Odyssey -- both carrying powerful radios -- enters Mars orbit, antennae straining for the Blur tune.
Mars Odyssey is not a rocket and it's been in orbit for over 2 years.
Beagle 2 parted from the Mars Express rocket
Mars Express is not a rocket.
It will be far cheaper and contain far more science than either of the two U.S. Martian rovers that will be landed from Mars Odyssey in January.
This one is the worst. Beagle 2 is a capable lander, but to say it will "contain far more science" than two golf cart sized rovers is ridiculous. (I will admit Beagle is much cheaper.) Finally, the rovers launched on two rockets on a direct path to Mars on June and July.
