Mars Phoenix


Nasa's Mars Phoenix Lander is due to touch down on the red planet at 5:00 PM PDT in the first fully-automatic soft-landing attempt since the disastrous Polar Lander mission in 1999.

Whether the crew at JPL still has any fingernails left by then is open to debate.

Update: Phoenix is down and working.

However, no word from Captain Black yet.

2 hours or so to go!
(A little less to land, a little more for us to hear about it.)

F*** the Mysterions if they can't take a joke!
