title: Martian Lander

It's as wonderful that [they may have found the Martian Polar Lander](http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/space/20010319/sc/exclusive_spy_agency_may_have_located_mars_polar_lander_1.html) as it is scary that they can apparently resolve the spindly legs of the lander (legs thinner than mine) from a camera in Martian orbit. The article states, "_the lander appears intact on the surface, sitting atop its trio of landing legs_." Knowing the announced capabilities of the orbiting camera, I'll bet that the article's source doesn't know of which he speaks. The story I saw elsewhere this morning stated more believeably that the team had found three light pixels against a dark background, which could be a rubble pile left from the lander dead-dropping the last 180 feet.
