the UK Martian Lander ‘BEAGLE’ ? I remember watching a Documentary on the Farmer/Proffesor who canvassed and drove the project forward until it’s eventually fruition, and have nothing but admiration for his commitment. I felt so sorry for him & those involved in this endeavour following its failure. Last I heard he was suffering from something like ‘Parkinsons Disease’ ! Are there any other projects on the table from this group ?
p.s. Thats the fella ‘Klaus’ – what a great chap
