Fascinating images from the Phoenix Mars Lander show what appear to be chunks of ice disappearing from a trench the lander dug. The full story, with a nice image that toggles in a “now you see it, now you don’t” fashion, is on Spaceflight Now.
Of course, we knew Mars had ice — we’ve seen its ice caps grow and recede. But it’ll be interesting to see if the lander can analyze some of it.
So, where do we sign up to go?

Thanks! As soon as I get the call, I’ll let you know. 😉
Sign me up!! I’ll fly on any mission you’re on! I have two friends who would gladly join us but their wives aren’t too keen on the whole long separate thing…party poopers.
