Colin Pillinger[edit]

Colin_Pillinger design it?? You can count on new two Martian craters.

I'm sorry, but this isn't the place for ad hominem insults. Ralphybaby 18:43, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You could make clear that this will not happen any time soon. There is no orbiter in 2009. There is no such thing on ExoMars scheduled for 2011 and the following European Mars mission (ExoMars 2 ?) will be some time after 2011.Hektor 12:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your addition Hektor. As Wikipedia is free to use, perhaps it would be best if you made these amendments yourself. I constructed this page with information I had available at the time. Thanks, Ralphybaby 16:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nowhere here I placed ad hominem insults. I simply thinks that Pillinger it at least partly responsible for faliure of original Beagle 2. MaDeR. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.51.70.116 (talk) 12:47, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

NASA Space Missions[edit]

I don't think there should show the NASA Space Missions box at the bottom, as Beagle 3 was to be an ESA mission.

2009[edit]

Are we going to wait for 2009 to write that this mission is not happening ? Next European mission to Mars is ExoMars currently scheduled for 2013 - and 2013 does not look likely in fact. Hektor 12:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly looks like it is not going to happen. The Beagle 2 resource website [1] frzen on 2003, refers the readers to visit a site called "PPARC press releases" which is a dead link: [2]. Still I have not seen an official note of cancelation. BatteryIncluded (talk) 05:30, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
