Damn Those Martians

Once again those evil Martians have thwarted our space exploration efforts. Remember that JPL craft built a few years ago that they destroyed. Well it has happened again. NASA Loses Communication With Mars Rover They are wiley too since we have yet to get pictures of them.

I figure the Martians have WMD's and will be mounting a retaliatory strike against us soon. So hide your dogs and cats cause you know how those aliens are.
