Mars Phoenix Lander: Triumph and Death
     


NASA's Mars
Phoenix Lander bit the dust today (no pun intended). After five
months performing scientific experiments that included digging,
scooping, baking, "sniffing", and "tasting" the Martian soil, the
seasonal  changes in sunlight have ended the mission. The robot's solar
panels are no longer generating enough light for the robot to operate.
The robotic lander,
which had its own Twitter
account, posted a final tweet
today that said, "01010100 01110010 01101001 01110101 01101101 01110000
01101000 <3" - binary for "triumph". For more see the CNET story
or the NASA
news release.
