It's the stuff of science fiction - the spaceship nears its 2-year journey to Mars - just in time to see a huge meteorite strike the Red planet. Well, it could have happened that way (a) if the NASA mission to Mars hadn't been delayed again and (b) if the mission was due to arrive in Mars airspace next month. The telescope scanning the skies for evidence of heavenly bodies on collision course with Earth has found a meteorite that has a 1 in 75 chance of colliding with Mars in January. (Who knew there was a telescope scanning the skies...)
