That's explained in the adventure set Missions, to be precise in the
adventure Mission: Mars. A summary of that adventure's introduction
follows after the spoiler space, for those who haven't read/run through
this:
NASA sent a probe to Mars in 2001 that sent back images of the pyramids and
skeleton shown in Dunkelzahn's will. In 2011, a secret, manned mission was
sent to investigate, which they did, but on 24 December of that year the
main ship was lost in an accident. The three survivors made it back to
Earth, but two of them died within a few years. In 2016, Ares bought NASA,
and by the 2040s was going to send a new probe to Mars. However, Ares did
not know of the pyramids, the skeleton or the manned mission because this
had been buried very deep in NASA's archives. An old NASA employee, who
was responsible for maintaining the secrecy of the 2011 mission, sabotaged
the data sent back by this new probe -- among other things by putting a
1950s flying saucer into an image (there was actually a 2040s probe
there). What the real deal is with the pyramids and the skeleton, though,
isn't mentioned.
