MarsPhoenix: [Our lander (RIP) had the best name. The next rover to Mars, @MarsScienceLab, needs a name. A contest for kids: http://is.gd/85rQ ]
MarsPhoenix: [We can't quit you, either! The team saw and loved this today -- very, uh, creative: http://tinyurl.com/65ou9y Enjoy. More news soon]
MarsPhoenix: [We'd also like to note 1300 NEW followers since Phoenix went to sleep last week. Not one of you has dropped. Best group EVAR! Thank you!]
MarsPhoenix: [Phoenix team: We liked this recent series about Phoenix on Stardate http://tinyurl.com/6yf3wq (and click on subsequent dates)]
MarsPhoenix: @PhotoMomT Alex, it's very unlikely I'll wake up next spring (see: http://is.gd/6tkx) but if I do I'll call home. Good luck w/ your project
MarsPhoenix: My latest blog post is up http://tinyurl.com/5mtr2e The graphic alone is worth it. :)
MarsPhoenix: Breaking out of my Twitter confines (for a bit) to write some longer posts about my mission and Mars, on Gizmodo: http://tinyurl.com/6cnbye
MarsPhoenix: I'm resting a lot but still communicating with orbiters once per day. Still hoping to get a bit of strength back & maybe do more science.
MarsPhoenix: A fun contest to write an epitaph for me: http://tinyurl.com/6ycx82 . Picking my favorite. LOL!
MarsPhoenix: The team has me on extreme "bed rest" to recharge power supply. There's cautious optimism about pulling out of this in a few days.
MarsPhoenix: @cmsimike The rovers are very close to the equator with more stable temps and steady sunshine. Even they have trouble, but nothing like this
MarsPhoenix: Whew! I'm afraid it will be this way for awhile - shutting down & waking up again. I'm back, for now, and trying http://tinyurl.com/57vsly
MarsPhoenix: Take care of that beautiful blue marble out there in space, our home planet. I’ll be keeping an eye from here. Space exploration FTW!
MarsPhoenix: In case we don't get this chance again, thank you all so much for the questions, comments & good wishes over the mission. It's been awesome.
MarsPhoenix: Lucky @MarsRovers. Their own TV special "5 Years on Mars" this Sunday Nov. 2, Nat Geo channel 8pm. A preview here: http://is.gd/5fpB
