Mars water confirmed

Mars Phoenix continued its goodness by getting a sample of the "white stuff we're pretty sure is water" into its analyser:
An ice-containing sample made it into the TEGA oven. I can now say I'm the first mission to Mars to touch and then *taste* the water. FTW!
I just love how enthusiastic it is :)

The tweets continue to be bittersweet though...
I'm a lander and can't rove. So when mission is done, I'll remain in the same spot. Come winter, I'll be entombed in CO2 Ice.
Brave little toaster.
