Yes worth a look, but no sound on my viewing.

Good luck Phoenix Mars Lander

All, please keep your fingers and other extremities crossed for tomorrows landing (my time zone) ...

It probably would have crashed if you didn't post its name so big. ggz.

I feel so, well satisfied

Good to see a soft and successful landing occasionally. Understand, near 50% of Mars landings do fail

But with the nearly five decades of Mars exploration fraught with failures -- about half of the three dozen tries have crashed, disappeared or missed the planet altogether -- there is little room for error.

wheres the ice?...

The Martians got rid of all the ice during one huge cocktail party.

So... we can fit video cameras into pin holes, and we can have 5mega pixel resolution on an every day bog standard phone camera, not to mention 12mp+ on every day cameras...

And yet they STILL pop up shots online that could of been taken on my old web cam...

And yes I know abotu the data getting back to us, but ffs, they still dont take shots in colour... Its all "closest fit" colour...

maybe cuz if they used real cameras u could see the pics were actually taken in arizona?...

how much colour do you think is up there, moron?

Well DB, i dunno... The planets RED... So I would suggest thats quite a lot

The point i'm trying to make is that just becaues grass is green, it doesn't mean you can take a B&W picture of it and get all the detail. How would you tell whats dead or not?

With Mars, I see loads fo red pics with random blue shite on. Is that correct? I doubt it.

That Snickers wrapper in that one came out very colorful.

Under the soil. They believe where the lander is, the ice is just a few inches or maybe a foot beneath the surface. That's why this lander is designed to dig. It has an 8 foot arm that it will use to reach the ice and take samples.
