Mars mission under scrutiny

Written by Des Lorimer

In case you haven't already heard, a buggy-in-a-bubble equipped with cameras has landed on Mars - or at least that's what NASA claimed.

The Internet has suddenly come alive with newsgroups claiming the landing of the Pathfinder never happened and the whole thing was staged by NASA officials.

Check the arguments at alt.conspiracy and sci.space.policy. If you want to see some of the images taken on Mars try http://www.cnn. com/TECH/9706/pathfinder/multiplex/gallery/index.html.
