Isn't science amazing? It just works. Not always pretty, and it doesn't always tell us what we want to hear, but you can't argue with the results.
Yesterday NASA pulled off the first soft landing on Mars in 32 years, since the Viking Landers in the 1970's. The Mars Phoenix Lander set down near the Martian North Pole and took a series of pictures with its stereo cameras. One of the first was of its foot, just to make sure it was standing on safe terrain.
I can't wait to see what Phoenix shows us when it starts looking around...

They're looking for new places to build marinas. That's what I heard.
