To use an old Jerry Seinfeld joke, why don't they just
build the whole spacecraft out of the same stuff they
use
Thanks. Murphy's Law: If it can go wrong, it will--and at the worst
possible time!

In an ironic twist in the Mars Polar Lander story, the National Imagery and
Mapping Agency (NIMA) thinks it has found the MPL intact, upright and
standing right where NASA sent it.

I read the press release and the article, and I didn't see anywhere that
they thought they had actually located the lander. It sounded to me like
NASA and NIMS were going to cooperate (what a concept!) to see if they could
locate it, but not that they had actually done so.
What am I missing?
