Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation

There is growing apprehension for the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Schiaparelli probe, since the robot’s radio signal was suddenly cut off about a minute before it was expected to land on Mars. Scientists are afraid the robot has crashed and been destroyed. The European Space Agency, however, is far from surrender, and, on next days, its engineers will try everything humanly possible to revive Schiaparelli’s heartbeat.
