National Geographic Presents "Return To Mars"



Media Advisory

MARS PATHFINDER MISSION GETS A NEW LOOK:
SEE THE RED PLANET in 3-D at nationalgeographic.com  

WHAT:	
Remember that cute little rover "Sojourner" scooting across the rocky
Martian terrain last year? And the fabulous photographs of the Red Planet's
landscapes the Pathfinder mission sent back to Earth?  Well, now you can
relive the expedition in 3-D at "Return to Mars" from Pathfinder's fiery
plunge through the Martian atmosphere and its beachball landing to a
virtual ride on the rover. 
		
Just pull out the 3-D glasses from the August issue of National Geographic
magazine, included for its cover story on Mars. If you're not a member, you
can order the magazine from the online store. 

Send a postcard from Mars and then, when you've returned to Earth, join a
forum discussion on whether NASA should send a manned mission to the Red
Planet. 


WHEN:	
Return to Mars starts July 17.
