Steve Davis writes: NASA officials report that an official letter from martian canine authorities has been found on the windshield of Mars Rover. Martians are demanding a fee to release Beagle2 from the Esidis Crater pound.
Nothing has been heard from Beagle2 since it landed on Mars some time ago and while officials feared it was lost, the unexpected official letter confirms that it had been captured while roaming the canals.
“We obviously didn’t realise that Beagle2 had to be registered or we would have taken all possible steps to fill the proper forms” mission director Miroslav Ogenski said as he read the letter.
Unsure how they are going to come up with Martian currency, much less get it to Mars within the 7 day deadline, officials fear Beagle2 may be put down, or worse, be used for some sort of research.
