Back then many of us gathered with Beagle's mastermind, Prof Colin Pillinger, to wait to hear the first signal that the spacecraft had touched down safely.
The third tip to reading body language like a pro is to notice the first signal, but wait for confirming cues before assigning meaning to what you see.
This will have to wait until a public navigation signal is switched on, and it is likely to be 2015 before there are enough spacecraft in orbit for the system to start to show its true capability.
