It is a proud and incredible moment. The Phoenix lander made a
successful touchdown on the surface of Mars. This culminates years of
hard work and preparation. It also is a big change from 1999 when a
similar probe costing almost $1 billion US dollars crashed because of a
computer programmer error.
I was able to watch the whole process on the very fine NASA television
channel. What a glorious day it is for all people here on Earth.
We are closer now to answering the big question:
Are we alone in the universe?
Life takes us in many strange directions and wonderful discoveries. It never turns out the way we thought it would.
