      So the last one out is the winner? I wonder if they will leave all that equipment down there. I expect so, after all they can't really expect the 'winner' to send it all up before he leaves the house. And would anyone want to go down afterwards to collect it/turn off the lights?

        Looks like it's going down now.

          Nope, false alarm. The phoenix is landed, all stations are not go. 2 more hours of tests.

            Maybe the medic who was going down (with all the drugs) has done a runner?

              You mean he decided to lie low for a while?

                They shouted up "Hang on, there's a bloody great hole opened up in the ceiling - let us get that fixed first!"

                  CNN has built their own Phoenix capsule. "You feel like you're in some really bad telephone booth," says reporter Jonathan Mann.


                  What on earth for?

                    The first chap is out, a mining expert and paramedic are down there, and another due to return to the surface in a mo. Very well orchestrated. Here's hoping the capsule/borehole hold up for the rest.

                    Absolutely loving the fact the drill that did the job is called 'Plan B'.

                      Can't view this right now but is the capsule thing they're using like the transport pods on Futurama?
