Silent night

The BBC reports that there’s still no word from Beagle 2 on Mars. The British-built probe was expected to land on the Red Planet early Thursday morning.

Ricky James and Krypto at SciScoop have background links and are listening out for news.

Incidentally, Ricky James had a link-filled post back in May comparing Beagle 2 with the Viking missions in the seventies. The post also touches on the work of Dr Gil Levin, who continues to maintain that the Labelled Release experiment on the Viking Lander provided clear evidence for the existence of life on Mars.

Fascinating.
