NASA, Twitter, and News from Mars

Yesterday afternoon just after 5pm at Twitter HQ I heard Steve mutter something about ice water. I wasn't sure if he was just thirsty or what but then I glanced at my Twitter timeline. It seemed the little robot way out there on planet Mars had sent back a really big tweet. Today, headlines like NASA announces water on Mars via Twitter, and Mars Phoenix Tweets: "We Have ICE!" are starting to show up. It's exciting and incredible news coming out of NASA and we continue to be thrilled by @marsphoenix's updates.

OK, so my tweets were not quite on the same scale but using Twitter on a 95 mile non-stop adventure race was fun.

And got a few more people to see the reason why we love Twitter!!

Why didn't they take instruments to identify organic compounds. Was there ever life on Mars?
