Timezone lovelies. 
@Yiole_Gionglao Congrats on the snipe. It’s very,really interesting that the thread still has the warning of “This topic will close 3 months after the last reply.” Last LAGL thread stopped having it after 3000th post or so.

Probably that was a bug and what we have now is the default behavior. Also having 5,000 messages means we’re halfway to shut it down at 10,000.

I am a bit baffled with the latest campaign at World of Warships. They’re having Santa’s Gifts… for sale. As in, you pay your Santa gift. Which is actually a loot box with content supposedly worth more than its price.
But the whole concept of paying for Santa Gifts is strongly oxymoronic(?) for me. If you sell it, don’t call it a gift. If you call it a gift, then don’t charge money for it. OK?

Gifts are never free! Part of lifes rich tapestry as there is always a price!
You just have to decide if it is worth paying!

I watched the presentation of that probe mechanisms and the method they wil use for making that deep hole looks rather weak for me. It cant make a hole if there is a rock underneath the landing site. They searched for a place that will not have rocks on surface. But what about under the surface? Frozen ground can be as hard as a rock.

Guess that they will make a very slow and thoughtful decission and then hope for the best, if there’s a rock under the surface… bad luck. They’ve made everything possible so the rock isn’t there, and if they meet a rock then next mission will bring a georadar to survey the underground before drilling any holes. Also, even a hole 3 meters deep before meeting a rock would be informational. Nature is a beetch, Mars is a jinx planet and scientists must maek da scienz as they can.

Its bad that they cant move this lander. Then they could go somewhere else and try to drill a hole in other place. About that drilling, its more like punching a hole actually. Hammering post inside crust.

Well, if they had to move the probe, then they would also need a way to remove the penetrator from the hole… looking at how it works, it doesn’t seems to have a reverse, it just hammers itself forward/down.

Yes, a one time use only, disposable, millions of dollars worth probe drilling device. Not a thing I really would design when I would do that thing.

On the other hand, it’s the kind of thing you can make work with 2 watts on the surface of another planet… being the first of its kind (that makes it to Mars), better not overengineer it.
