Fox News

Fox News just broke into the NASA press conference. Doesn't sound good at all, seems like three failed comm attempts, two from orbiters and one from Earth; it's not just the bad weather in Australia. He was being a bit technical but it does not sound good at all.

It's probably the same Martians that destroyed everything else that was sent there, it just took longer for them to find this one.

Maybe re-naming the C drive? The IT guy here at work said something to me about doing that periodically... or not doing that again, I forget which.

Any more info?
To: John H K
As I recall, weren't they having temperatures in excess of predicted with the comm device? Perhaps the circuits burned out... This is really a shame...

From what I saw on the minute or so on Fox the guy looked really, really unhappy and very worried. The term "serious anomaly" was used.
And they've got the second landing in two days....

I'm in the process of moving, my new digital cable is working but unlike Cox Cable Comcast doesn't seem to have the NASA channel...so those watching NASA TV will have to fill us in.

We should send a mission to Mars just to clean up all the space junk we have sitting there.

Here's hoping the problem can be fixed.
