I'm not sure how many have been tracking the Phoenix's Mars Landing but here are some links of this mars event. Cool Stuff.

A signal confirming the lander had reached the surface was received at 2353 GMT on 25 May (1953 EDT; 0053 BST on 26 May).

Engineers and scientists at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California clapped and cheered when the landing signal came through.

"Phoenix has landed - welcome to the northern plain of Mars," a flight controller announced.

This is a link to the first ever photo of a REAL spacecraft landing on another planet taken by an orbiting third party.

This whole thing is fascinating. Wonder if they'll find any signs of previous life?
