Phobos/Grunt Watch...Post-Mortem Mea Culpa?

OK, here's what Roscosmos blames for Phobos/Grunt's failure...

Cosmic Rays
         or
Software Glitches
         or
Sub-Par Chips (not MilSpec)
         or
Inadequate Testing
         or
Personnel Changes

Anatoly Zak has an in depth encyclopedia of Phobos/Grunt at RussianSpaceWeb.com

In the face of all these snafus, Roscosmos is actually thinking of trying Phobos/Grunt 2.0!

Pity I have to work tonight...the Late Night Comics will have a field day with today's Phobos/Grunt News!

I guess we better Stay Tuned!
