Ever the story. R100 commercially produced & no problems, R101 had military involvement, they wanted more & more added - the extra weight wasn't good for its flying characteristics.

It seems to be down and largely OK.

Quite a few of the comments running up the side are from conspiracy theorists...

Conspiracy theorists are full of sh1t. Everybody knows that craft has been taken over by subterranean Martians … and is sending us only what they want us to hear. :eek:

Damn, and my name and address is on that craft. Still I won't worry, the chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one against....................................

As Terry Pratchett said, the million to one chance comes up nine times out of ten. Or is that only in fiction?

Hey …. SOMEBODY'S GOT TO WIN THE LOTTERY …. (of course, in this case you have to swap a Rolls Royce for some really weird alien probe in orifices you didn't even know you had …. ) :teef:

Look at it this way. Let's say this spacecraft landed on somebody's allotment. And maybe burned some cabbages doing it (I have to figure it would be red cabbages on Mars.) Then it deploys solar panels, thus cutting off what bit of feeble sunlight the rest of your cabbages get.

So ….

Given the difficult task of growing cabbages on Mars in the first place … it's not exactly a tropical paradise, then some blue planet geeks bung a machine right down on your plot, and starts drilling holes and such … how would you feel ?

I know how I would feel if I were a Martian … (which does happen after Rum) … I'd feel: "IT'S TRIPOD TIME !! " :haw:
