Santa Claus Versus The Martians
While we've been hearing for quite a while about the planned Christmas Day landing of the ESA's Beagle 2 Mars lander, it turns out that's the 25th Europe time, and that Christmas comes early here in the States. The touchdown is expected around 8:54 p.m. CST. But don't sit by the TV then waiting for word from Mars--the first opportunity for the Rover to send a signal if it lands succesfully will be around 11:30 p.m. CST, courtesy of NASA's Mars Odyssey (it's good to have friends when traveling to new places).
