Brent:

I agree, "sh*t happens" - also in old Europe. 

Yet, your example, the "poorly managed Beagle mission" (according to ESA) was a comparatively inexpensive fiasco (£50 million) and it was a British and not a German failure - this time, :-).

Kind regards, Rainer

BTW, as I notice you work for the German Aerospace Center, perhaps you can explain the splendid, deplorable, quite expensive failure of the Beagle 2?
