It is a shame they didn't at least try to activate
the microphone earlier.

We have now missed out on TWO opportunities to listen to Mars.

I hope you guys can reactivate after seasonal changes…That Phoenix lander needs a hibernation mode for the money that spent on it..

Activate the microphone? lol

Hit it Phoenix!

Thank you, thank you you've been a lovely audience…

fascinating piece here about what phoenix's last days on mars will be like and the "lazarus mode" that has been built into phoenix to re-awaken the little guy come spring… and why there is little hope he'll awaken.

kinda sad…

Ashes to ashes… Hey, wait !
Doesn't a Phoenix always rise from the ashes?
Methinks the story ain't over…

Can Phoenix be put into some form of hibernation and then woken up when the Martian winter is over?

Win some, lose some…

HST is back, Phoenix on the way out…

Well, it has exceeded it's specified mission lifetime, after all.
