The Phoenix has landed

As you probably know, the Phoenix has landed on Mars. No problems so far. I assume the best place to track the data as it comes back is the NASA mission page for Phoenix. Here are the mission goals:

--Determine whether Life ever arose on Mars

--Characterize the Climate of Mars

--Characterize the Geology of Mars

--Prepare for Human Exploration

Just noting that those are the goals of the entire Mars Exploration Program extending far beyond the Phoenix mission. Phoenix isn't intended to complete them.
