It seems the Mars Phoenix lander (or at least some NASA public relations intern) has a Twitter account. You can follow along (almost live) with the progress of the mission. It’s written in the first person as if it were some Disney cartoon robot. The age of interplanetary social media has begun. Intergalactic Web 3.0 is surely around the corner.

I’d heard that the moon is a harsh mistress. Apparently Mars can’t shut up.

PS Do you know why Darth Vader can’t drink milk? (Answer posted at some point in the comments if no one beats me to it)
