	Beagle 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beagle 2 was an unsuccessful British landing spacecraft that formed part of the European Space Agency's 2003 Mars Express mission.
		Beagle 2 was conceived by a group of British academics headed by Professor Colin Pillinger of the Open University, in collaboration with the University of Leicester.
		The Beagle 2 lander objectives were to characterize the landing site geology, mineralogy, geochemistry and oxidation state, the physical properties of the atmosphere and surface layers, collect data on Martian meteorology and climatology, and search for possible signatures of life.

	The Voyage of the Beagle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Voyage of the Beagle is a title commonly given to the book written by Charles Darwin published in 1839 as his Journal and Remarks, which brought him considerable fame and respect.
		Once again Darwin was a martyr to seasickness on the voyage to Mauritius, where he was impressed by the civilisation of the French colony and toured the island, partly on an elephant.
		Darwin was invited by FitzRoy to contribute the natural history section to the captain's account of the Beagle's voyage, and using his field notes and the journal which he had been sending home for his family to read, completed this section by September 1837.

		For comparison, the Beagle 2 probe weighs 68kg, with the lander weighing just 33kg, its diameter is the size of a bicycle wheel and its cost at the outset was estimated as £25m.
		A space mission is all about making models to test all aspects such as mass, centre of gravity and electrical interfaces, demonstrating that all components work at all stages during design and development.
		In an ideal world, Beagle 2 would have been built in a logical sequence with test programmes completed before moving on to the final assembly of the lander and probe which would be sent to Mars.

		Beagle 2 program managers are operating under the assumption that the lander survived its entry through Mars atmosphere and landing, and is emitting a signal from its 5-watt transmitter.
		Pillinger and Mars Express mission managers at the European Space Agency (ESA) had frequently warned that Beagle 2, built on a shoestring budget, had no backup systems in the event something went wrong during its descent or the deployment of its solar arrays and other equipment on the ground.
		Beagle 2 prime contractor EADS Astrium Ltd. of Stevenage, England, also spent about $7 million of its own money to continue the work at a time when the funding shortage threatened the program, according to EADS Astrium estimates.

		With all the benefit of hindsight, it's easy to read Van Vogt's "Voyage of the Space Beagle" with the same clarity and futuristic vision that perhaps inspired Gene Roddenberry to spin off Star Trek vesting the Enterprise with the five year mission to go where no man has gone before.
		But assessing it from the hard side of the sci-fi spectrum, "Voyage of the Space Beagle" is certainly not unique, has little beyond short-term entertainment value to recommend it and I think most readers would be unlikely to accord it the status of "classic".
		AE Van Vogt published "The Voyage of the Space Beagle" in 1950, and I often muse that it must have inspired or influenced Gene Roddenberry.

		The special effects are not great, but really only suffer with exterior shots of the rocketship flying through space at a glacial pace.

		While many people sit in their office and dream of one day working in the gaming industry, Richard Carlson, designer of one of this year's finalists for the "Fifth Annual Independent Games Festival" (IGF), had a feeling he would eventually be one of the few who saw it happen.
		SAIS is space exploration and adventure game, in which the player takes the role of starship commander.
		Carlson said the game was inspired by John Butterfield's single-player board game, Voyage of the BSM Pandora (Ares #6, SPI, 1981) and A. Van Vogt's novel, The Voyage of the Space Beagle (1950), as were countless heroic voyage stories, including movies like Jason and the Argonauts and TV shows like Star Trek.
