Great cartoons indeed... but I'm afraid the refreshing drink would evaporate immediately...
Haven't seen any cartoon of a completely frozen Phoenix Lander during the next Martian winter

Not a cartoon as such, but I made this ages ago... not realistic now, based on what we know, but still makes me feel sad...

Exclusive Wired Science interview with Phoenix via Twitter shortly after landing:
Wired.com: Finally, we’d love you to settle a matter of some debate on Twitter. Are you male or female? Phoenix: Good question! I've never thought about it. I'll give a peek under the deck with my robotic arm camera and get back to you on that... :-) |

If these robotic snafus have underscored the need for a manned mission, I have a good idea for a sponsor:

I wish I could draw it, but it sure would be funny to see an alien trying to keep the TEGA doors closed... Maybe rubber cement or something like it...

QUOTE (Astro0 @ Jun 9 2008, 09:33 PM) OK, this image comes to mind as Phoenix attempts more sample delivery techniques. [attachment=14632:sample_delivery.jpg] Too soon?!  Sorry, couldn't resist Astro0 Well that was just in time. A recent newsflash from Reuters confirms that Phoenix has been really busy with its sample delivery techniques...

Well, no wonder the TEGA doors won't open! You have any idea how much a cubic meter of soil weighs???
