QwkAg,
My guess is you got it as a FW'd email from a friend...
I toss 100% of emails, with Fwd attachments. Don't
care if they are coming from my best friend(s), as that
attachment will have been around the block a dozen times,
is old news, bs, or I've read it already. And, unless I run
the attach through Norton, et al, I always assume it has
some bad junque in it.

Mars viewing was actually pretty good a year or so, ago.

Even in 2003, at best it looked like a bright star. Nowhere near as big as the moon.

Ah, QwkAg...you ol' spoofer, you!

I bought this scope, with a faked PayPal account,
just for you. You can fire it up and check out that
close encounter with our sister Red Planet.

It was only ~$10Gs, but the vendor won't notice
the phony PP acct of mine, for a few days...it's on its way to you,
my BFAM!

Not spam, just bogus stuff from snopes.
Some of it is almost believable which makes
it worth a laugh or two. Better than transmission
conjecture me thinks..........
