 Competition is always good. I don't really care whose rocket is, if it can bring me there safely... One thing I can not stand, tho... The 12 minutes delay on the internet link when I will access mersenneforum from Mars...

Haha, you guys!
(  I accept I didn't look for the real values, just that the number "12" was stuck to my brain from some early movies and articles I read on the web following all this Mars fashion show, so not sure I remembered the right value)

The European Space Agency hopes to land a craft on Mars today.
The current prediction is that it will land at 1428 GMT (Earth time - I don't know what time that is on Mars). http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Sp...al_and_landing http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Sp...al_and_landing |

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.05750 is quite fun - demonstrating that, with the naked eye assisted by a cross-staff made of two rulers one sliding on the other, you can measure angular distances to an accuracy of 0.2 degrees which is more than enough to demonstrate that Mars's orbit is elliptical.
