Snoopy Touches Me More Than Darwin
The European Space Agency tells us that Beagle 2 should reach Mars on Christmas Day. You can catch streaming video and details of the event at the Mars Express site. There are also newsy updates on the Beagle 2 weblog. Even though Beagle 2 is named for the ship that carried Darwin on his travels, I've chosen instead to think of it as sort of a British version of Charlie Brown's beagle friend Snoopy, even though he's copyrighted by United Media and has nothing official to do with the ESA or Mars as far as I know. Nonetheless, when Beagle 2 touches down, I'll definitely be humming "Christmas Time Is Here" from A Charlie Brown Christmas.
