Masterminded by Professor Colin Pillinger, an eccentric and exuberant planetary scientist at Britain's remote learning Open University, the Beagle is on track to beat the mighty NASA program, which is set to send its next Mars probe at about the same time. If successful, Beagle will be one of the most astonishing recent developments in the space race. With $60 million funding from public and private sources, Pillinger, 59, and his team of hundreds of scientists, engineers and programmers have managed to plan, produce and finance...

Eventually the Department of Trade and Industry kicked in an $8 million grant. "Just building a lightweight, university-driven probe, and showing that much less demanding technology is needed, is in itself a triumph," says respected biomedical engineer Heinz Wolff. How will the probe know if there is life on Mars? The planet's surface is a dry and frozen desert, seemingly hostile to any life-forms. But astronomers...

They eventually got their way, but Cheney stalled them for a year...
