In case any slimy, green Maritans appear, brandishing pointy laser guns--and all experts agree that there will be--keep track of them and the Mars Phoenix Lander on Twitter. It's scheduled to land on Mars this evening at 4:53 p.m. (PDT). Or so.
For those of you not outside getting ripped at a barbecue today, you can also check out Mars Phoenix Lander coverage live on NASA TV.

Or get live NASA TV coverage instead of 140 characters of Twitter lameness.
And by the way, it's scheduled to land at 3:53 PM PDT, not PST.
Oops, I mean 4:53 PM PDT. See, now you got me all mixed up!
It posts in the first person on Twitter...
"Parachute must open next. my signal still getting to Earth which is AWESOME!" (4:34pm)
"come on rocketssssss!!!!!" (4:54pm)
"I've landed!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (4:54pm)
Congratulations to everyone at Lockheed, NASA and University of Arizona on a successful landing!
I think I know a little space robot who wants a contract to write for Marsist!
thanks for the Sunday posts, bk
Mars is so over. Bring on Neptune.
I prefer Uranus.
This Martian Magnet is messing up our weather here on Earth. We should be feeding the hungry with all that money spent.
