[Neeyik]

A day old but interesting read nonetheless:

Favourite part was this:

"Recommendation 1
Future lander missions should be under the responsibility of an Agency with appropriate capability and resources to manage it. The lander/orbiter mission should be managed as an integrated whole. Nationally-funded science instruments should be included in the lander on the same basis as on the orbiter."

Bah, the whole thing is basically just ESA trying to pour cold water on any European space initiatives outside their direct control. Typical Eurocrats.

Heh, the whole things just screams "We could never have pulled it off, but it was nice trying..."

I am sure that if they called it bagle 1 and 2 It would have given the mission the different outcome.

Making it round and with a hole in the middle and calling it Bagel 2 would have been perfect.
