I don't know if you can truly say it crashed - it was most likely crushed by the intense atmospheric pressure long before it hit the surface. It also got mighty hot just before it "signed off" - about 150°C (if memory serves).

Doesn't really matter, though, it stopped working anyway.

Yeah, there's more than a little hypocrisy at work here too. Why not have the smae rules for Mars? How about Titan? What's so special about a moon with an ocean? Where's our "manifest desinty"?

KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! USA!USA!USA!USA!USA!USA!
