Good point. Years from now some poor sod is going to traipse out, pick it up and haul it down the scrapyard.

Why dont we fire half a million Coke tins and a few million Quik-save poly bags up an'all.  noooo:

Contextual photo on the earlier Phoenix landing post.

Although it looks like it's heading straight into the crater it's actually some 20 kilometres in front of it.

When you consider that was taken from orbit and everything is moving at thousands of miles an hour in different directions that is quite an amazing pic.

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.
