VERY exciting -- that "we can do it" attitude like watching NASA in the 'old days'. :patriot:

2. A great accomplishment
Here is the Phoenix website for future reference.

(I just heard someone on the NASA broadcast say they only have a quarter degree tilt from vertical on landing. Very nice!)

6. Thank you. Heard it was going to, glad it made it down safely.
I still very much get a thrill about landing stuff on Mars. It is just cool.

8. Considering it has historically been about a 50/50 proposition,
things could not have gone better. I hope the rest of the mission goes as well!
