At the time of writing, a gaggle of British scientists is still waiting anxiously to hear a jingle, composed by Britrock band Blur, that will be broadcast by the Beagle 2 probe if it survives its landing on Mars. But, whatever happens, at least two people present have had a result today. This, from the Beagle 2 weblog.
Mitch Harris, guitarist with Napalm Death, waiting with the Beagle 2 scientists, proposed to his girlfriend at the time Beagle was scheduled to land on Mars. Whilst we await confirmation of the landing, we are pleased to say that she accepted.Merry Christmas to all.
