Mars Phoenix Lander touches down! 
I've just been watching the Mars Phoenix Lander touchdown live on NasaTV (http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/live_tv.html) and also on MarsLive (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mars-live).

One of the advantages of having dual monitors is being able to watch both streams in fullscreen at the same time! :-)

It was confirmed as having touched down fine just a few minutes ago. The first pics should be coming in about an hour and a half at the time of writing. I'd love to sit up until then but I'd better not! I'll check out all the news, pics and clips tomorrow morning when I get up!

Looking forward to all the interesting stuff this mission will turn up - but for now: bed!!
