Mars they Laughed.

You may recall that a couple of months ago we ran a report on the strange goings on at NASA concerning the first Mars Probe, which vanished when - ho ho - it supposedly had a problem reconciling imperial and metric measurements.

Our conspiracy angle was instantly dismissed by the rest of the press as the caffeine-fueled ramblings of SF nerds, but then a funny thing happened. A week after we ran out story, the second mars mission vanished too !

We didn't even bother pointing out that the missions were going to overfly the Pyramids on Mars, despite the fact that the area on Mars the anomalies are located in was of no interest to the stated mission goals of either of the failed probes.

Mars they laughed

And guess what NASA are saying happened to the second probe? Well, it landed on the edge of a canyon and tipping over, tumbled into the darkness and plummeted to destruction.

Shit, what complete bad luck. All of the Red Planet to land on, and our little baby has to land on a cliff. Damn those meddling ledges.

Anyway, needless to say a lot more interest has been focused on our original story now, so it is homage to this tribute to our journalistic prowess that we bring you our screen-saver of victory!

If you have a PC, then you can now load up on a virtual view of the Mars landscape and gaze in awe as well rendered views of the red planet float serenely across your monitor

Unlike either of the two crashed mars missions, this screen-saver does use actual NASA photos as the base of its code.
