The Phoenix has landed!

It looks like the Phoenix lander has touched down on Mars!
Radio signals received at 4:53 p.m. Pacific Time confirmed that the Phoenix Mars Lander had survived its difficult final descent and touchdown 15 minutes earlier. In the intervening time, those signals crossed the distance from Mars to Earth at the speed of light.
Congratulations to NASA and the Phoenix team!
(As I appropriately post this from MarsEdit ;)
