Thanks to soulsong, for pointing me in the direction of this gem
Hrrm… looks a lot like East Anglia, except perhaps a little browner. No, in all seriousness, ’tis a facinating photograph of Mars – if Mars it turns out to be. To be honest, it looks a lot like where I worked in Iceland, just to the west side of Dettifoss – I think my path might be just off camera to the right there.
Surely Nasa wouldn’t try that trick again, would they? and surely not in the same location … I mean we weren’t convinced last time round when they say they landed on the moon. Of course if they have gone for that trick again, then it would explain what’s happened to the poor Beagle – the Brits made the crucial error of actually attempting to land a probe on Mars instead of only pretending to…
…suddenly it all makes sense!
I mean we weren’t convinced last time round when they say they landed on the moon.
I would be amazed if you were convinced last time around since neither you nor I were even born when they landed on the moon!
I am totally convinced by the way, and it is an amazing feat by both the Beagle team and the USA team to attempt this, whatever the outcomes.
So am I really. I just couldn’t resist poking a little fun at NASA and the US Space Program… *grins*
On a more serious note, I do happen to think that we should perhaps be spending a little more time researching the unknowns out there on our planet (say, the deep oceans for example? Do you remember the Blue Planet series of a few years back?) before going off to other planets.
