EARTH CRAFT HITS LUNA - VIOLENT IMPACT SUGGESTS NO LIFE ABOARD

Martian astronomers have confirmed that the small Earth craft that hit Luna last night was deliberately targeted at the satellite. Its excessive speed and destruction on impact suggests that there was no life on board and the device was unable to make a soft landing anyway.

All astronomers and scientists who have witnessed these recent events have emphasised that there is no danger to Mars - at least no immediate danger. "There is no reason to suppose that Humans even know of our existence, and even if they did they still can't reach us yet" said a senior official today. However, the fact that they have reached to their own moon in such a short space of time has been noted by several eminent scientists.
