And from around the Net, where Netscape had long trumpeted its 85% market share, word began to leak back that Microsoft browsers were accounting for 30%, then 40% and by last week 60% of the hits on some servers. Though Netscape still indisputably has the larger proportion of browsers, Microsoft reported that more than a million people downloaded Explorer 3.0 in its first week online, overwhelming the company's specially beefed-up servers.

After the buzz created by last week's foot-high LIFE ON MARS! headlines, all those missions suddenly look a lot less tentative. And with President Clinton choosing this moment to pledge his continued support for space exploration, at least some people at NASA are beginning to whisper again about a project whose name they long dared not speak: a manned mission to Mars...
