You are being completely clueless, Rich!

Trust me this has nothing to do with Lockheed and all to do with how much science you get out of something.

The Lander is completed already they wont be rebuilding it. The amount of money Lockheed gets off this contract is small potates.

        Scientific data from NASA is evil! - alcaray - 8/6/2003 10:05:28 PM
        
        No its not: it's simply biased - E.P. Grondine - 8/8/2003 4:23:17 PM
