Personal Note: Way to go, Phoenix!

Congratulations, Team Phoenix! I love it when a plan comes together ... especially when it's a plan that produces actual pictures of the Martian landscape, as opposed to artists' renderings. (Nothing against artists, here -- just the ZOWIE! factor of actually being there.) Here's to a successful exploration of the Ice Plains of the Red Planet. (Eat your heart out, Edgar B.)
