Re:NASA Coverup? Maybe not but... (Score 2)

UPI has issued a followup story which includes the following; "Welch conceded that the UPI article's description of a second design flaw involving landing sensors was accurate. Preflight testing failed to notice that when the craft's landing legs opened, they could accidentally trigger a sensor which was designed to notice when the legs hit the martian surface. As a result, the sensor might have shut down the craft's braking rockets while it was still far off the ground."

Can we infer that the whole truth is now slowly coming out? Did the original article serve as a catalyst to get to the truth? More to follow.
