And that Mars is well over 100 million miles away at the moment and the robot craft taking the picture had to be programmed to point it's cameras in the right direction based on the projected trajectory of the Phoenix lsnder.

All well and good but the devil is in the detail. Now they cant get the little shovel thingy to drop soil in the little oven thingy. What a conundrum.  rubschin:

Good to see Snoopy making the case for manned spaceflight.

Alternately - make Mars a part of the EU ~ the Poles will be there by lunchtime.
