We'd like to introduce our newest guest blogger—the Phoenix Mars Lander. With a successful mission starting to wind down as a cold winter rapidly descends upon its landing site in the Martian arctic, we're pretty happy that Phoenix, (already a prolific Twitterer) has agreed to look back with us on its amazing life over the course of its final days on Mars.
NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander was launched last August, and is scheduled to reach the surface of Mars on Sunday. This is the first Mars mission that will set down near the planet’s frozen pole. Scientists hope to find ice, and maybe evidence of the planet’s past. Wielding its robotic arm like a backhoe, Phoenix is designed [.
La sonde Phoenix Mars Lander, dont le trajet commençait l'été dernier, devrait se poser sur la planète rouge d'ici quelques minutes. Il faudra un interminable quart d'heure supplémentaire pour que le signal se rende de Mars à la Terre, et que les équipes de la NASA puissent déterminer si tout s'est bien passé.

As you digest hot dogs or tend to one of your geektastic Memorial Day grilling machines today, take a moment to consider NASA's Phoenix Lander, which is scheduled to touch down on Mars this evening. At about 8 p. m. EST, the multimillion dollar lander will enter the Red Planet's atmosphere and experience what CNN is calling "seven minutes of terror" (worry not, I checked the story and it has nothing to do with the Lander being in a closet with Paris Hilton).
Dans la mythologie, le phoenix est un oiseau fabuleux qui renait de ses cendres. La mission de la NASA ne porte pas ce nom par hasard, puisque la sonde transporte des composants des missions Mars Polar Lander et Mars Surveyor Program 01, dont la première avait échoué et la seconde fut annulée.
Mission Phoenix Mars
La sonde Phoenix qui vient d’amarser(? envoie des “tweets” (messages sur Twitter) a plusieurs milliers de fans. C’est vite dit, mais c’est génial. Exemple: infoholic Yup, I can dig into frozen ground as hard as concrete. The scoop has special blades and a powered “rasp” to scrape ice.
Putting rest to fears that the Phoenix Lander might be DOA, the lander wagged its robotic arm on Thursday. NASA was worried that a stuck piece of plastic casing could prohibit the 7. ft titanium appendage from extending, making it impossible for the Phoenix to carry out crucial drilling experiments.
Vous avez déjà dû entendre parler de Rejaw ? Certains l'annoncent comme un Twitter Killer . un autre . Et pourtant. Twitter est effectivement très populaire, du fait de sa simplicité, du fait qu'il soit arrivé premier sur la place, ou presque, du fait que l'on puisse recevoir des notifications par SMS, et surtout du fait qu'une multitudes d'applications se soient développer derrière.

ESPACE - ETATS-UNIS: La sonde américaine Phoenix approche de Mars
Cam Hui submits: Despite my recent bearish tone, I am no permabear. In fact, I am waiting for signs of a market bottom in order to buy Phoenix stocks, a strategy that has yielded some eye-popping returns in the past. Here are some of the different indicators of market direction I am looking at in watching for signs of a market bottom and their current readings:

It's time for a heart-to-heart. While I've spent my entire mission talking to followers via Twitter, some things just can't be said in 140 characters or less. So I was thrilled when the editors of Gizmodo asked if I would contribute as a guest blogger, and even more thrilled when they said I could write more than two sentences at a time.
