Its full name is Phoenix Mars Lander, and it is the last of the NASA’s Mars projects. It is a spacecraft for the exploration of the Mars surface in search of ice. Phoenix started to twit on Twitter less than twenty days before its landing on Mars and it continues twitting from there about its adventures. Well, not really. In fact it is Veronica McGregor, the news services manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who twits every night after work on behalf of Phoenix. So I wonder, How long since we have a machine twitting directly to us?
