     DNRC Prank Report

     This galactic prank report comes directly from the field:

     I took the QuickTime panorama of the Mars Pathfinder, reworked it into
     my

     own HTML web page (neatly entitled "Pathfinder Mission Control") and put
     a

     heading "Pathfinder Active Camera Control" above the panorama.

     Soon the news travelled, from Induhvidual to Induhvidual, that I had
     found a

     way to control the camera on the Pathfinder from my computer at work. My
     PC

     was swarmed by Induhviduals each taking their turn "controlling the
     camera".
