The Beagle 2 lander successfully separated from the Mars Express (delivery and orbiter) craft and is on its way to the Martian surface. There are three scary failure spots, launch, separation/orbit insertion, and landing, and the crafts have survived the first two. Keep your eye on the Beagle 2 Weblog and your fingers crossed.
