Things are a bit quiet at the moment Mars-wise, with Spirit and Oppy taking it easy and Phoenix still a couple of months away from Pads Down, so how about a little game of What If..?

What do you think would have happened - follow up missions, effect on Mars exploration, NASA's development etc - if...

One of the Vikings had found primitive life on Mars in 1976..?

Pathfinder had failed..?

Beagle 2 had found life on Mars..?

One of the MERs had failed?

That asteroid HAD hit Mars..?

... or any ideas of your own..?

Go on, just a bit of fun... smile.gif

There would be no UMSF, because I'd have been happily talking about B2 in the Yahoo group I formed in about Aug 2003. ohmy.gif
