 BAD WEATHER POSTPONES NASA MARS ROCKET 
 Nasa has postponed the launch of a     
 rocket carrying a Mars probe because of
 bad weather.                           
                                        
 The United States space agency has     
 rescheduled the launch for Tuesday.    
                                        
 The Pathfinder probe is due to land on 
 the surface of the planet and beam     
 pictures back to Earth.                
                                        
 It would be the first probe to land on 
 Mars since the United States Viking    
 crafts went thjti 20 years ago.
