US-SPACE-MARS-PHOENIX
Mission Control team members Barry Goldstein (L), Ed Weiler (2nd L), Ed Sedivy (C), Doug McCuistion (in the background), and Peter Smith (R) laugh as they talk to reporters at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) after the touchdown of Phoenix Mars Lander in a northern polar region of Mars by passing out Mars candy bars on May 25, 2008 in Pasadena, California. The Phoenix Mars Lander, named for a mythological Arabian bird that would be consumed by fire then rise anew from its own ashes, is the newest hope in the search for signs of life on Mars. Less than half of the Mars missions have made successful landings. At a cost of 420 million USD, the Phoenix Mars Lander has flown 679 million kilometers (422 million miles) since leaving Earth in August 2007.
