Wreckage of Beagle found scattered in Mars crater
Talk about being unlucky assuming this is confirmed. |

If this crater indeed turns out to be Beagle's resting place, it would really be a mindblowing case of bad luck... Just seeing how sparse the crater density is in the area and it managed to drop right into one.
Opportunity was said to have struck a whole in one, but this is beyond words. At least Mr. Pillinger will be able to take some comfort in the fact Beagle 2 succeeded in reaching the ground more or less intact. But fate has, once again, turned her back on him... -------------------- |
