    Enceladus flyby conspiracy

    Oh my, the software glitch with Cassini's Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) is starting to stir the conspiratists up:

    Get the popcorn ready, it'll be a hoot to sit back and watch this one...

    I'm a bit mystified. From that link, there was a post about the problem Cassini had with the CDA, but that's it. Where's the conspiracy? Is there something at that link I didn't see?

    Edit: I looked at some of the responses to the linked post, and I'm still not seeing it. They mostly seem to be talking about the problem, along with some jokes. If there is a specific link to some sub-thread, perhaps you could post that.

    I say there is an invisible elf in my backyard. How do you prove that I am wrong?

    From the linked source: "There were alien bacteria in the ice samples, and NASA is covering it up by claiming that the probe didn't work."

    I hope that poster was being facetious.

    Oh, I see that below now. It received a "score 5: funny"
