Who's providing the snacks?

[najab]

A quick question with respect to MSL in 2009 - who's providing the snacks for the Great Galactic Ghoul? Last year the British and Japanese were kind enough to keep him well fed - hence the success of Mars Express and the MERs, but what about 2009?

Maybe the Galacctic Ghoul doesn't need to be fed that often.

Beagle 3 is on it's way <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

Maybe he'll be so excited about two juicy missions (Mars Science Laboratory and Mars Telecommunications Orbiter) that he won't be able to chose between them and they'll both slip though?<br /><br />*Resolves to keep fingers crossed for next five years*

I say we launch a decoy payload of Twinkies to feed the Great Galactic Ghoul. Otherwise, MSL's nuclear power source is gonna give her one whopper of a tummy ache. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

It's been weeks since I've been active at Uplink, and I return to learn about the Great Galactic Ghoul.<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br /><br />I picked a good day to come back! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
