Phoenix Lander

[stuffradio]

We get to find out if the Phoenix Lander successfully lands on Mars in about 58 minutes. What do you guys think we'll find if we land? PEW PEW PEW

EDIT: It successfully landed, yay!

Martians eating cupcakes?

Hopefully!

Hmm.. Can you provide any photos then? ;D

 

[themoose]

Is this like the Rover? Except evidently successful?

Colin the Rover moves, the Lander doesn't. It has all the tools it needs to dig down and examine the contents. Then it sends it back to NASA.

 

[Hoth]

The rovers just scraped a few millimeters off the surface, whereas Phoenix intends to dig down a whole foot. In another thirty years of exploring the planet we may get down four or five feet. Stay tuned.

Hoth, true.

Welcome whoever you are

Mars is not real. The concept was created by Ford motors as a part of a marketing strategy that never took off.

Ye, the Phoenix Lander is now using twhirl as a Twitter client. HM

//EDIT
This tells us that the Phoenix Lander is either running Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Mac OSX. No Linux. Down with Opensource.

Ok, Phoenix Lander is using Twitter. How weird...
