H G Wells War Of The Worlds

I watched yesterday UFO Files and the War Of The Worlds episode (Thankfully on our sky + box so I could fast forward through the ads).  It got me thinking about Mars again and whether a private mission would ever be possible.  Be that for a probe or a manned mission :)

Face On Mars for those interested in what has been described as a natural weather made image!

I would have loved the suggestion of a "mission to mars project" in science when I was at school.

There was an earthquake in Blackpool on Friday 1st April http://socyberty.com/holidays/blackpool-earthquake-2011-april-fools-day-hoax/  Needless to say I didn't feel anything and when it was announced on North West Today's lunch time programme, I like many others thought it was an April fools joke despite the time being nearly 13.45 p.m.  A quick check of teletext revealed there had been one!
