Europe has fixed on a concept for its next mission to land on the Red Planet. It aims to send a single robot rover to the Martian surface along with another, stationary, science package. |

British Scientists Unveil Latest Craft To Search For Life On Mars
London, England (AFP) Jun 12, 2006 British scientists on Monday took the wraps off a prototype craft to search for signs of life on Mars, hailing it the smartest piece of equipment ever designed for exploration of the red planet. http://www.marsdaily.com/reports/British_S...fe_On_Mars.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

QUOTE (ustrax @ Jun 13 2006, 09:07 AM) Bridget?!? British scientists are apparently very lonely.  To quote from the article: "They have done maybe 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) in total," Healy said. (The actual total, according to NASA, is 14.86 kilometers, or 9.23 miles.) "The rover here (Bridget) will have done that within four to six months at the most. It's got to go to 10 sites that are up to one kilometer (0.6 miles) apart." To echo Analyst, of course a rover one decade from the time of the MERs is likely going to do better. But I am not impressed that it will do things faster. It's the quality of the data I care about. If you want faster and better (but not cheaper), send humans. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
