In the Race

Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!

It’s been missing since 1999 and NASA is asking for your help to find it now….

What is it?

"Mars Polar Lander was due to reach the Red Planet's south polar region in 1999, but it went out of contact during its descent from the surface and was never heard from again. Investigators surmised that a glitch with the spacecraft's thruster system led to a catastrophically hard landing."

NASA is looking for help in finding it.

The University of Arizona Department of Planetary Sciences site has many high resolution imaging maps taken from the one below for you to look over.
