Powerworks Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 I still think Apollo 11 was a hoax, and Apollo 13 was truely our first attempt at the moon. Then the later apollo missions were a success.. I don't think Apollo 11 made it because they did not have all the problems figured out yet, and they were under pressure by the government, if they didn't make it that year they would have lost 30 billion dollars worth of grants. Besides Apollo 11 just went off a BIT too easy to be a first attempt.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Spirit seems to be a success maybe Nasa can divert it's second rover Opportunity to look for the beagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetw0lf Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Maybe they should rename 'Beagle' the 'Bagel'. It probably looks like one at this point. :yes: :yes: :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 :rolleyes: I'm sure the Europe space agency will be successful eventually. Condolances to the Europe scientists and Space fans. The USA has just been at it longer I think. Maybe our landing craft will find the Beagle hung up in a tree and rescue it ;) neat pics -- I see the canals: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
