First shots from Mars

NASA's Mars Phoenix Lander can be seen parachuting down to Mars in this image captured by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

This is the first time that a spacecraft has imaged the final descent of another spacecraft onto a planetary body.

    I think the Mars landing is an amazing triumph 4 technology. All I want b4 I die is proof that there is, as I believe, life on other planets. Hope they hurry up tho' as I'm getting on a bit!
