UPI vs NASA
On March 21, 2000 United Press International (UPI) published an article by James Oberg titled "NASA Knew Mars Polar Lander Doomed". Oberg made numerous accusations against NASA and quoted sources close to a panel investigating the loss of the Mars Polar Lander (MPL) throughout the article.
This has sparked a public response from NASA denying some of these accusations but not all. Upon close examination of the accusations and statements from NASA, there appears to be more to this than meets the eye.
