Phoenix Mars Lander Brrr! Want to see what winter was like here? Postcards from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show a frosty bump on the north polar plains.. and that bump is me! http://bit.ly/2kCuf4

Winter images of NASA's Phoenix Lander showing the lander shrouded in dry-ice frost on Mars have been captured with the HiRISE camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Guess we'll have to wait for the Mars Astrobiology Lander to run more definitive tests. Still, the result remains that Phoinix did not detect any organic carbon where it landed. We can always argue about WHY it did not detect ANY carbon, but the fact remains that it did not. I predict that if we could land astronauts on Mars next week and bring ... See Moreback samples for exhaustive tests, the results would be the same. It takes more than liquid water (which once flowed over portions of the Red Planet billions of years ago) for life to emerge. Hey, thanks for that link.

Phoenix Mars Lander Spring has arrived! It will take a couple more months before the sun is high enough in the sky to provide power, and that's IF my solar panels and electronics survived winter's CO2 ice. In case they did, the team back home will start listening for my signal sometime in January.

by Peter Smith Revolution was in the air as I completed my undergraduate studies at Berkeley in 1969.Assassinations of our national leaders, riots in the inner cities and Vietnam War protests rocked the country; violent demonstrations brought the National Guard and martial law to campus...

Phoenix Mars Lander Well, if you all are coming to free Spirit, can you free me too? It's a bit chilly under all this carbon dioxide ice.

shouldn't you be trying to conserve energy instead of posting on Facebook?

Not just CO2. Some of it is water ice.

Checking that CO2/H20 ice thickness would have been very important. A ggod test for many planetary Sol system bodies weather. A cryo-weather station. Perhaps we can add one to you someday.

The big problem is that the Phoenix Lander discovered no organic carbon whatsoever. No tests conducted by the Viking Landers, Sojourner, the Spirit and Opportunity Rovers or the Mars Phoenix Lander have detected any evidence that there is or ever was life of any kind on the Red Planet though seas once covered portions of Mars billions of years ago... See More. Though future landers (such as the Mars Science Lab) will run more sophisticated tests, don’t hold your breath. I predict that Mars and every other body in this sun system is abiotic other than Earth. Still, I argue that the Milky Way Galaxy is teeming with life and with intelligent life.

Phoenix Mars Lander At this time last year, I was approaching Mars. Just a pretty red light in the sky...

As we all know, if evidence of past life IS found on Mars, the creationists & skeptical scientists will keep the question about the findings open for decades. Well beyond my lifetime I'd wager.

The Mars Science Laboratory is scheduled to be launched in the fall of 2011. MSL is a rover that will assess whether Mars ever was, or is still today, an environment capable of supporting microbes. Though I predict that NASA will find no evidence of past or present life on Mars, or Titan, or on any body in this sun system other than our planet, I maintain that our galaxy is teeming with life and with intelligent life.
