[net.space] Viking I Contact Lost

sjb (12/16/82)

Scientists at JPL have lost contact with the Viking I lander, the
last surviving component of the Viking program.  They think that
the problem is merely an out of line antenna that should be able
to be fixed and feel certain that the ship itself it alright.

Aha, now we simply HAVE to send a rescue craft for the poor Viking!
