What was I thinking?CactusZack tells us: "I stopped dating a girl AFTER she got breast implants. For what reason I do not know, and I still kick myself for this." Tell us about inexplicable decisions that still haunt you.

Beagle 2I once met one of those intelligent chaps who worked on the beagle 2.
He was pissed out of his mind and, being the responsable bar man i am, continued to serve him alcohol.
He then proceeded to regale me with his tale of woe about how the beagle 2 failure was all his fault because he had not argued the case for tank tracks over wheels.
He garbeld something into his double whiskey and was dragged out by his friend , but not before yelling an important peice of advice to me. "Don't stop!"
Touched me deeply that did.

I saw him give a talk around Christmas last yearAt the Greenwich observatory. He banged on and on about how the ESA wouldn't fund another mission and NASA's new probes wouldn't be as good.
He was a nice enough chap at first but seemed very bitter over the whole losing the spaceship thing. Made me sad :(
