Yet Another Mars Lander Update

This little guy just keeps amazing us all. We first talked about the Flagstaff to Mars connection on June 21, 2008 and then on June 26, 2008, we learned that the Phoenix Mars Lander scooped up soil that appears to contain all the requirements to support life.

But, there's more. Today, we have this headline, "NASA Spacecraft Confirms Martian Water, Mission Extended," from NASA and the University of Arizona. Mars Lander finally got a soil into its "oven" for testing. This test confirmed what the camera saw, the ice in the soil where the Lander was digging.

This is really intriguing. Makes one wonder what may be discovered during the rest of the mission which has be extended through the end of September.

Stay tuned for more results.
