First Pictures From Mars Phoenix Lander

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-get-digging dept.

Now that the solar panels have been deployed, the Mars Phoenix Lander has begun sending back pictures of the red planet to the hungry space geeks of earth. In just a few weeks the claw will deploy and they'll start digging a hole. The scientists expect to use the dirt to construct a little sand castle which they will defend with several GI Joe action figures, and a bald barbie stolen from their sisters. Oh, and maybe find water or bacteria.

    Thou shalt not pork thy neighbor or thy neighbor's wife? (Sorry, not enough espresso yet.)
