The Phoenix Mars Lander has landed. Perfect landing. Congrats to the Phoenix Lander team…
Phoenix touched down on the Red Planet at 4:53 p.m. Pacific Time (7:53 Eastern Time), May 25, 2008, in an arctic region called Vastitas Borealis, at 68 degrees north latitude, 234 degrees east longitude.
…and the Children of the Earth continue moving forward towards the inevitable; them leaving their home Planet. It will happen, someday.

I’ve always said that “space probes” are the coolest embedded application ever to work on; talk about creativity, challenges and rewards at the end…
