Goran Bjelakovich, the visiting researcher who led the systematic review at Copenhagen University, said: "We could find no evidence to support taking antioxidant supplements to reduce the risk of dying earlier in healthy people or patients with various diseases."
"The findings show that, if anything, people in trial groups given beta-carotene, vitamin A and vitamin E showed increased rates of mortality. There was no indication that vitamin C and selenium may have positive or negative effects; we need more data [on these]."

And they invested all that money and sent it to Mars, to land? That is nothing but a joke, and BB has a right to laugh. Any technician, ANY technician, any mechanic from ANY mechanic shop will laugh if you explain the real story to them. Things don't happen if they are not tested. Never. Ever. Absolutely never.

I am already doing it.
This is my thread. If you don't like it, stop coming here to say rubbish.
Rules already exist and it is not necessary to change them.
Try rather to say something intelligent.

THE PHOENIX SURFACE STEREO IMAGER (SSI)
Instrument design: SSI is mechanically similar to
the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) [1] and to Mars
Polar Lander’s SSI [2]. The cylindrical camera head
(Fig. 1) is set on a one-time deployable mast, 84 cm
above the lander deck. The camera has two apertures,
each protected from dust accumulation while in the
stowed position. The eyes are separated by 15 cm to
simulate human stereo vision. Stereo overlap is optimized
for the RA workspace at 3 m from the camera
head. Azimuth and elevation motors allow imaging
from the zenith to -60º elevation through 360º of azimuth.
Mirrors direct light through a dual-filter wheel
with 12 positions for each eye. Fold mirrors then direct
the light to the electronics assembly.
Peter Smith:
Well, I noticed that too, Emily. Uh, [laughs] it-it took a-a very violent shaking during the-the interaction through entry, descent and landing. And, uh, we-we had trouble with this [tell tale], believe it or not, in the vibration test because it's on the end of the-the mast. And, the mast is a little like a fishing rod.
So, when it gets vibrated, it-it takes on an ext -- incredible velocity, and-and it does put some stress onto that-that [tell tale]. And, so maybe some of the little fibers that hold it have broken. Uh, it sure looks that way.

Hey, dear AUGE (Arizona university goat engineers), haven't you ever seen this image?
It is much more beautiful this cartoon that looks like an ostrich with wheels.
Another incredible buffoonery of NASA's frauds:///end quote Big Brain Well,nasa will never tell you this but that round cylinder looking pan cam I actually drew/designed 1987 as it was planned as topping the Mars rovers Spirit and Op.But the powers that be took my designs many steps further than mere protection from the weather casing(cylinder) I had envisioned.That's why it's so odd and clunky in comparison.I never designed a lander,so it must have been salvaged from some early experiments with rovers and dropped some time in the 1990's I'd guess. Ideally you'd think a more encapsulated cam would be good for the cold of Mars North Polar region. The rovers were built to look like an animal to attract animals or large life.I had always hoped there were humanoids on Mars,and yes there are who look much like us. I regret not adding a nice microphone to hear them.I was 29 when I sent my designs ,very hopefully thru Gene Roddenberry of Star Trek. Motion detectors,cams,filters,spiked wheels(changed from Sojourner style)and many innovations like tether assisted airbag controlled crash landings were my babies. I set the high bar by giving the date for landing of July 4 1997 for Pathfinder,and the sats with swept wing solar panels for orbital insertion and airbraking(bouncing controlled skips off the upper atmosphere).There would be a HALO of communication sats around Mars.Thanks Authur C. Clarke. I was thinking SMALLER,CHEAPER.If I had to do it over again I'd concentrate on more computer power,but that's hindsight.The JPL logo is also my design,and those are my initials. Here is a Martian.Many have dark eyes like goggles for protection.The humanoids I've seen don't wear sunglasses. So is he animal or humanoid? Does he wear a hat? Take a look at his nose.One nostril instead of 2 like humanoids.Many Mars digging animals have this type of round like a short drinking straw nose. Nasa masks the images by showing only outlines on the ground so they look like rocks. Many people have a hard time seeing this,and some will never catch on to nasa masking. The first big animals were capture in pics from 32 years ago,Viking landers. I personally want rovers on Mars,not landers.We should be studying Martian languages by now if someone was forward thinking at JPL and had TRANSCEIVERS/Com devices on everything they sent to Mars.Nobody listens. Six billion critics chirping like crickets.TooCheap... TooCheap... TooCheap ...TooCheap.

Listen to me carefully: Phoenix is not a plane, it is not a helicopter, it is a piece of metal without a front side, a back side, a left side, a right side.
It has only an upright side and a bottom side.
Therefore it has infinite pitch axes, infinite roll axes and infinite yaw axis and can spin in all directions at 360 degrees.

Look at the videos: they are very nice.
The Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury capsules similarly used rotating their center of gravity to control their decent attitude, and angle of decent.
