Do you think there was something very British about the Beagle II mission?

Colin Pillinger (Professor of Planetary Sciences) gives expert video advice on: How was Beagle born?; Why did you launch the Beagle mission?; What is Beagle II? and more...

The British do have a sort of a reputation for being somewhat eccentric and doing things that people say they cannot do. So maybe Beagle II is typical of Britain - I don't know. We just did Beagle II because it was there. It was something we wanted to do, so we did it; all of us.
