# go blind on mars!
i can't find my 'free with the sun 15 years ago' 3d-specs, so i made a spinny3dpanorama

cross your eyes to see the goodness (sorry for the size but any more and it looks awful)

# hmm...
when i cross my eyes they go out of focus

something is amiss

# well
you suck nyer.

you really have to strain your focusing-muscles while crossed - try practising by clicking "stop" and doing it on a still version

# beagle was far cooler looking than the american one
theirs looks like something off robot wars

# well, what were you hoping for
it only cost $820,000,000.00
there was nothing in the budget for aesthetics.

# isn't that like
many many times more than beagle cost?
(I helped save b3ta! lemony, Tue 6 Jan 2004, 1:32, archived)
# Yes.
the Beagle budget could probably fit in a shoe-box in 1-quid coins. so good for them, because the Americans always spend way more, and generally get less bang for their buck.

# to be honest i don't care
i think anything that gets people interested in science and technology and encourages research is good... and i think elegance is a good thing in scientfic endeavor

# some of the ESA's projects have been quite successful
their satellite launch record, for instance, is very good. and see my note about the budget discrepancy above...
(rednc, Tue 6 Jan 2004, 1:43, archived)
# well...true
but the thing is, space research is actually a very bad way to spend research funding. it's low-return, especially manned flights. i've no particular opposition to the automated stuff, and of course satellites are very useful. continuing manned exploration is rather pointless.
