Have we lost MAVEN?
This is not encouraging.
My thoughts are with the MAVEN science and engineering teams as they work to restore contact with, and control of, the spacecraft.

NASA lost contact with the MAVEN spacecraft orbiting Mars on Saturday.
They're working the problem in an attempt to reestablish contact with MAVEN.
There's no reason right now to suspect the spacecraft has been lost. It's just not phoning home when it should be.

Good news for future astronauts: researchers in Kent have shown that tea can grow in lunar soil. Mars is still a lost cause — plants in simulated Martian soil didn’t sprout at all.
