FERRARI SUCCESS!!!

THIS is the first on-board photo from the Mars-bound Ferrari Rocket, piloted by the courageous Magny B'stardos

In a secret night-time launch, the Ferrari team finally achieved success, as pilot Magny B'stardos began his incredible flight to Mars.

HISTORIC LAUNCH

Captain B'stardos blasts off at exactly midnight, 22 July

It is believed the Ferrari will make several orbits of the Moon, sending back valuable photographs to Maranello, before begining the long journey to Mars itself.

Outraged Scientists are already complaining about Ferrari's reluctance to share information about the launch, and fear that many of the photographs will not be made public. The debate continues...

IS IT WORTH IT? MANY ASK

Protestors of the Mars Mission voice their fears

Outraged protestors are already gathering at the many launch sites used by the teams. After so many failed attempts, they fear that Ferrari's success will only fuel the fire for more teams to join the "Race to Mars". One spokesperson said: "It's total insanity. Now that Ferrari have launched successfuly, all the other teams will double their efforts to try to beat them. We have already had two deaths... I predict a lot more tradegy in the coming months."
