Maybe nasa should look for plane crashes off the coast of Australia.

Looks like a violent impact. Hope it didn't kill anyone on the ground..

MRO is pretty awesome. The work we did on that is the basis for stuff we are literally still building today. |

It was kind of a lame probe anyway, only had enough power to last a few days. |

ESA just doesn't have much luck with landers.
Beagle II crashed on Mars with no return of data. Huygens lost half of its data return due to a communications failure. Philae landed in a gully and only just met mission minimums for data return before running out of power. Now Schiaparelli... Better luck next time, guys. |

Article said that it had a near full tank and likely exploded on impact.
So, the Martians have been bombed. In before the retaliatory strike. |

The NASA probe that failed due to use of both metric and Imperial measurements was the Mars Climate Orbiter. It burned up in the martian atmosphere because it flew too close to the surface. NASA banned the use of Imperial measurements after this mishap. The NASA lander that crashed was the Mars Polar Lander. It crashed due to its descent rocket engine shutting down while the probe was about 100 meters above the ground. The MPL failure appears to be similar to that of Schiaparelli. |

More interesting is the article at the link about the search for the 9th planet. Apparently they've done the math and believe it to be far more likely than not that there is another major planet in the solar system and that it's just a matter of time before those looking finally spot it given how many are looking this time around and how good some of the telescopes used are.

Curiosity is amazing and is now 2 years beyond the primary mission date with no end in sight. Unlike spirit/opportunity, it is powered by an RTG which means it could last 20 years. |

Mike Brown, the renown planetary science guy says we will locate it within 16 months. Big problem/issue is what to do once we find it - Earth based telescopes/etc will only do so much, a probe is MUCH more useful to study it, but with current tech it would take forever to travel there. |
