I challenge you not to look at this and make a ping/spring/boing happy sort of a noise.

recent space.com article on Phoenix's delivery attempt with a very misleading headline:
"Mars-lander glitch prevents dirt-baking efforts" As far as I understand, the machinery is working nicely (="nominally"), it's just that Martian soil is not cooperating. Perhaps a more accurate headline would be: "Mars stuff is hard" [/rant] -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
