that's exciting.

I remeber getting up at 6am one time to watch the first images on the news. 1997 I think it was.

I'm going to watch this properly with a cup of tea.

Thanks!

Watching this live here too, excellent to know it made it down, but it's likely to be months before we hear anything worthwhile (apart from a failure!)

Yesterday (Sunday 25th may 2008)
There was another successful landing on Mars by an American probe,

The Phoenix Mission has two bold objectives to support these goals, which are to (1) study the history of water in the Martian arctic and (2) search for evidence of a habitable zone and assess the biological potential of the ice-soil boundary.

I feel that we as a human race should be putting more into this kind of thing! Instead of spenning a silly amount of money on missiles and bombs!
