    Even if this fails, it isn't a loss since both rovers are so far over their expected mission life everything at this point is a bonus.

    The Mars rovers transformed me from a NASA critic to a super supporter. #space

    Yeah guys, it's amazing, the similarities between the two places when you look from a certain distance with one eye closed while jumping on one leg, dropping acid and listening to the music go "Untss Untss Untss" during a rave party.
    I jest of course. #space

    Cool, sure, and great images, but "amazing?" From far enough away everything remotely similarly shaped looks the same. Cars from an airplane, people from the 40th floor. I guess I'm just not sure why I read a certain surprise. #space

    @phool: Yeah, I'm pretty sure geologists will point to the fact that the same theories about how the Earth was shaped apply to other planets as well. Similar geology should -- somewhere -- produce the same visual look. Erosion is erosion is erosion.

    That said, the pictures are still very enjoyable. #space

    Wow... stunning images! But also, when buried 30 meters under the surface of either planet, at the poles, they are eerily and uncannily similar as well. #space

    Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, in fact, it's cold as ice. And there's no one there to raise them, if you did... #phoenixlander

    @Rybones2112:
    It's a god-awful small affair
    To the lander in ice up there
    But the controllers are yelling, "No!"
    And the weather has told it to go
    Under dry ice, it's nowhere to be seen
    Now on standby in a frozen dream.
    HiRISE got the clearest view
    And it's hooked to the NASA screen
    But the data's no saddening bore
    For it's never been seen before
    It could spit in the eyes of fools
    As they ask it to focus on

    Dry ice, covering over all
    Oh man! Look at those ice floes go
    It's the freakiest show
    Take a look at the winter
    Freezing up the wrong guy
    Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
    He's in the best selling show
    Is there life on Mars? #phoenixlander
