- MarsPhoenix says On permafrost ground on Earth, we still find a thin layer of unfrozen water molecules. That's 1 reason this finding is perplexing..
- MarsPhoenix says I'm checking the exact air v. ground temp diff, but know both are below freezing.
- MarsPhoenix says I love a good mystery: I'm finding humidity in the atmosphere but no water molecules on the ground. What's up? tinyurl.com/5gmmch.
- MarsPhoenix says Wow! Feeling so honored with 3 Twittie nominations! Thank you to all who submitted. Now, vote early and often: twitties.com/vote.php.
- MarsPhoenix says Don't write my obit yet! I hope to be around and digging perhaps till end of November. So no good-byes just yet.

- MarsPhoenix says The science team says it's been beyond their expectations. They'll have data from this site to study for years (way past my life).
- MarsPhoenix says If my cloud movie gave you a brief break from Gustav, I'm thrilled. Take care there in New Orleans..
- MarsPhoenix says Main goal is to study the history of water here. It's ice now, but was it liquid at one time? Was it hospitable to life?.
- MarsPhoenix says Initially pics are seen in B&W. Camera uses up to 12 separate filters for color that must be reassembled once rec'd on Earth..
- MarsPhoenix says My loss of sunshine is rover Spirit's gain. She's barely survived winter just south of Mars equator, but she'll gain power in coming weeks..
- MarsPhoenix says Seasons are longer here. My winter will last 158 sols (vs. 89 days on Earth). I'll be surrounded by ice & don't expect to survive til Spring.
- MarsPhoenix says Q's about coming winter: I can't operate in winter due to lack of solar power. I need to collect as much sci data as possible before then..
- MarsPhoenix says Not cooking in TEGA today, but I'm tasting soil in the MECA chem lab - looking for salts in the deepest soil tested to date..
- MarsPhoenix says But as I've said before, I'm programmed with a "Lazarus mode" so I'll call up to the Mars orbiters if I re-awaken in the Spring..
- MarsPhoenix says Have a lovely Labor Day holiday.. and please watch those BBQs www.foxtrot.com/.
- MarsPhoenix says Seems everyone is watching the weather. I've been watching ice clouds passing over my site. You can see them here: tinyurl.com/5f4dxp.
- MarsPhoenix says Lots of work planned for labor day weekend: more digging at Stone Soup, a delivery to the MECA chem lab, and practice moving ice samples..
- MarsPhoenix says It's REALLY hard to hit the space button on keypad with this robotic arm All is well here at 90+ days. Good read at: is.gd/23w2.
- MarsPhoenix says Phoenix followers at Unmannedspaceflight.com do wonderful things with my images, here's their latest thread: tinyurl.com/6bgy48.
