GfK	The Europeans aren't going to be too cut up about the failed landing. Schiaparelli was only supposed to last a few days anyway Er yes, but it wasn't meant to crash and burn without sending any data back! Cracking waste of money. Again.

Jayenkai	Might as well have sent a modern Mobile, for all the time it lasted. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

zzoom	On the plus side - they hit Mars, they could've missed altogether -=-=- Happy coding!

therevillsgames	Cracking waste of money. Again. It is pretty hard to do since we are 140 million miles (225 million km) (on average) away from Mars

Jayenkai	Sounds like an episode of Star Trek... The Shrapnel of Schiaparelli! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Dabz	Shame, but no doubt, they'll learn from it I suppose... But I'll be mega honest right... Why dont they just buy Nasa's tech on getting there... They put a bloody 900 kilo vehicle on the surface, amonst many other landers... Why pay all that money to reinvent the wheel? Just buy a fucking wheel!

GfK	It is pretty hard to do since we are 140 million miles (225 million km) (on average) away from Mars True, but if you can't stick the landing then the rest counts for very little.

rockford	Yeah, I'm pretty sure nobody would fly BA if they promised to get you the airspace above your chosen destination, but actually landing there wasn't going to happen (or not in one piece). It's all teething problems though. Admittedly very expensive ones!

GfK	By the time we put people on Mars you won't be able to move up there without tripping over bits of old robot. It'll be like landing in a junkyard.
