Last night the Phoenix mars Lander touched down perfectly and has started transmitting pictures from its local area. While most of the pictures right now are “situational” in that they are looking to make sure that the craft has deployed properly, and that the local area is fairly dull or benign when it comes to large rocks, or things that could hurt the lander, the pictures are still pretty cool.
The mars Phoenix Lander’s pictures are right here at the gallery, of course everyone is all over this one, and our fascination with Mars just will not go away. As a possible abode of life, both Mars and Europa have a promise that life either exists or did exist at some point on both planets. Since mars is closer, it has been the easier target to get to.

In all this is pretty cool, Mars has been an interesting target to try to hit. And it would be very cool to see the polar icecap.
