you know....the lander has not been heard from since it tried to land.

This morning, we had a local report, from a contractor who worked on the
project.  Seems they were called in to verify some data.  What he said, is
that there is data coming from where the probe should be...but it isnt the
probe.  He, and others that were analyzing the data, said it was NOT from the
probe, but something that perhaps intercepted it.  The data stream, he said,
was something similar to what was shown in the movie 'CONTACT', unknown
format, unknown signal type...

interesting eh?

As further proof that there is intelligent life in the universe please note the unexplained failure of the current mission to Mars.

NASA finally got a response from the Mars Polar Landar.

"The cellular phone you are trying to reach is either not turned on or out of th
e home service area at this time, thank you"

These failed missions; it's all a ploy. They're raising the impetus for
"having to send a manned mission to find out why all these probes keep
failing!"

Believe it, or not. ;)

Perhaps the lander is female and has PMS?

When its "strop" (bad mood, for the non-English) is over, it will probably feel
like talking and maybe explain why it has been *inexplicably* pissed off for the
last few days ? ; )

Oops, sexist comment......backlash shields up : )

OK.  OK.  Enough is enough.  We can spend billions of dollars and send a
probe millions and millions of miles to the farthest of planets in our solar
system.  We can't get a probe onto Martian soil.  Well, one......

The residents of Mars just don't want us to invade their privacy.  I'm sure
it's in their charter of rights like it is here!!!  Imagine landing near a
popular Martian skinny-dipping hole to watch (er.. listen) to a bunch of
naked Martians!!

To me it's obvious.  The get their ray guns and shoot these things when we
get too close.  After all, it'll be decades yet before a man actually goes
there.  If we just keep our probes confined to a little deserted area then
they'll leave them alone :)

Just some thoughts......   (hehehehehe)

Isn't the average temp on Mars something like a hundred below? What are
they dipping in, liquid oxygen?

The probe should, while descending towards the surface, have a
kick-ass sound system bellowing "I'll be calling
youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"...

That'l fix em.
