Also as I understand it, in this case(maybe the 2 latest rovers as well) they don't have enough power to transmit a signal all the way to earth, atleast not one that is strong enough to get data from. They transmit from mars to orbiters that then relay the signal back to earth. I would also assume that its because they'd rather pack on as much scientific devices as they could, rather than full motion video equipment.  The difference between this one, and two resent rovers is that it has its 7foot arm thats going to dig, and see whats in/under the soil. It may not be very exciting, until they find some sorta bacteria, or even fossils, although to some thats not very exciting either, but to each their own. :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sma]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2008 8:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mars Phoenix lander to touch down on the red planet tonight]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</guid><description><![CDATA[lawl... there goes several million dollars.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bunson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2008 5:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mars Phoenix lander to touch down on the red planet tonight]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</guid><description><![CDATA[Live DOOOOOOOOOOOOM<br><br>sorry, i had to...<br><br>I have been a bit bummed about space exploration lately though, seems like we haven't been out and about the galaxy as much as previously, definitely not the best of plans but americans dont seem willing to dump more money into a broken bureaucracy.<br><br>Definitely excited about the manned mission to mars and the space station on the moon venture, hope they are actually accomplished on time!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2008 5:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mars Phoenix lander to touch down on the red planet tonight]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sweet Action.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bunson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2008 5:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mars Phoenix lander to touch down on the red planet tonight]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</guid><description><![CDATA[Don't forget the Decepticons.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard Lai]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2008 5:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mars Phoenix lander to touch down on the red planet tonight]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</guid><description><![CDATA[We should travel to Mars II.

From making stone wheels to putting an explorer on Mars only to blocked out by the same ol' CO2 we're fighting here. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shravan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2008 6:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mars Phoenix lander to touch down on the red planet tonight]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sure.  any number of components could fail, it could land on a boulder and wreck itself, or aliens could shoot it down.<br><br>Unfortunately if it crashes we won't be able to see it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CraigJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2008 5:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mars Phoenix lander to touch down on the red planet tonight]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</guid><description><![CDATA["boring rock digging".<br><br>It's all boring until the rock digging turns up living extraterrestrial life-forms.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Parsec]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2008 6:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mars Phoenix lander to touch down on the red planet tonight]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm in]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Garrett]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2008 6:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mars Phoenix lander to touch down on the red planet tonight]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/mars-phoenix-lander-to-touch-down-on-the-red-planet-tonight/</guid><description><![CDATA[I would say the chances of it crashes are better than 50%.
