Space is Busy Lately

Lots of exciting things have been happening in our corner of Space these days. It's always good to hear 'positive' news regarding our space program. First of all, the Phoenix Lander has overcome minor difficulties with its robotic arm and has detected (possible) signs of ice just beneath Mars' surface!

Also, the shuttle Discovery docked with the International Space Station to deliver a huge new Japanese made lab module. And a new pump for the toilet, which has been malfunctioning for a while now.
