If I may please say that anyone who tries this kind of thing are amazing!

NASA's Seven Minutes of Terror is quite informing.

ESD's Ambition was pretty cool as well.

The work continues....

Hi Everybody,

I am very interested in space travel.

Please look at this clickable internet link

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Island

It is very interesting and, just so you know Jewels Vern, the author, died in 1905.

Regards
Matt A

PS It is spelled Jules Verne.

Not quite sure what you are trying to say here,

Just so you know, William Gibson nor Neal Stephenson are dead yet.

Not sure what the link will tell me that's not covered in the book, which was made into one of the series of 1960s Ray-Harryhausen-stop-motion classics I loved as a kid. (And still enjoy watching.)

IIRC he garnered that nickname because he had a reputation as a ballsy author. Can anyone confirm?

Few who have had success have never had any failures.

And the ESA orbiter successfully entered orbit and will likely collect valuable data.

We live. We learn.

It "is unusual for a typical impact event and not yet explained," NASA says.
After NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter found the landing site of Europe's Schiaparelli lander last week, the spacecraft was able to train its High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera on the location. On Tuesday, the camera spied three sites where pieces of the lander hit the ground after its descent went awry. NASA released that photo Thursday.

Now I am curious if Mr. Musk is going to give some porn accessories to the first people going on Mars...

Beagle 2 'was so close to Mars success'

Arggghh. Good article. And what if it did indeed operate for a while, but was unable to send back the data that would indicate life on Mars. Perhaps we've already found life on another planet, but just don't know it. Sort of like that last Mersenne prime that was discovered but went un-reported for months.
