It must be his fault. ;-) Along with all the fiber cuts...  Apparently, the FTL sled is pressurized.  Or maybe, if you 
go FTL, you don't need pressurization.

On Friday December 3, 1999 at 4:14pm EST the Mars Polar Lander crashes
into Mars.  NASA and UCLA plan to make a live feed of the data download
available on the web site www.marspolarlander.org

They are expecting 250 million visits tomorrow.

Cable & Wireless appears to be the primary backbone for the event.
