THE PRESS RELEASE FOR MY ATTEMPT TO BREAK THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FOR HOLDING BREATH UNDERWATER. BY RICK STOECKEL
I wasn't interested in Twitter until a robot on Mars started using it.
If you haven't checked the Mars Phoenix's Twitter blog yet, it's here in all its glory.
Things learned thus far:
The minimum temperature where Phoenix sits is -112 degrees F.
Phoenix uses UHF radio band to talk to the rovers, who relay the data back to Earth.
When the Phoenix doesn't receive new plans, it carries out pre-programmed plans.
For things like this - small, regular updates to an ongoing project - I can see how Twitter is a useful service.
