Thank You.
Tomorrow, if everything goes as predicted, will be the day of the Phoenix.First of all “Thank you”.
Thanks to you all who participated in this Phoenix Special.
It was, indeed, a pleasure having your presence here, to learn, to share the enthusiasm and to dream with all of you.
But mostly, thank you and a huge kudos to all Women and Men making this mission possible.
Now that the launch window is about to be open and that the chances of seing the spacecraft setting its sails towards Mars on Saturday, the 4th of August are high all that is left to say is Ultreya et Sus Eia Phoenix!
Onward and Upward Phoenix!
May your scientific pilgrimage retrieve us a newly shaped, richer, truth. May we rejoice and evolve.
I’ll keep this door open to all of you untill the day the Phoenix reaches its destiny.
Now what is required, now what we all desire, is a safe journey.
Humans, in the past, ventured to the Earth’s poles, risking and even losing their lives, now, a robotic lander, fruit of the technology developed by members of that same species, will be launched and headed to the North Pole of another stellar body: Mars.
What a long way we have walked...

We are now, once again, in the frontier between one current truth and a possible future one: as far as we know, given the current facts, we are all alone, as life, in the vastness of the Universe, the Phoenix provides one more chance, remote but a chance anyway, of altering that situation by finding proofs that will permit us to give major steps on the road towards the so awaited discovery of life beyond Earth.
What will the Phoenix sight? What will the Phoenix taste beyond Earth?
The journey towards those answers is about to begin.
A whole new vision of Mars is at such short distance...the Martian Arctic, as land of mistery, is one of the most enticing targets we can imagine, the soil under, the possibility of finding testimonies to end our unbearable loneliness as unique witnesses of the Universe’s expansion...
A lander is about to begin a journey that can change the way we understand ourselves.
Along with the Phoenix travel 250.000 names, accompanying a machine while it defies the Martian arctic, posing questions, digging answers.
I am too among those names crossing the distance, on a quest for more.
We, that ¼ of a million will be escourting a spacecraft that will help us evolve in the best possible way: via science, hard work and truth.
This hours preceding the launch, which we all expect to be the day of a success for the Phoenix, are crowded by all sort of thoughts and feelings and, evidently, the excitement is unavoidable, but this is only a step on the path that will take us across the distances, in the direction of our own beggining, others of major importance were given by teams from both margins of the Atlantic, these people established bridges between cultures through science, raising a vehicule of learning onto space, offering it a destiny, a mission, mankind’s creation, reborned.
Maybe that, a long time from now, what will be remembered will be the first women and men to walk the surface of the Red Planet and other distant worlds, but this machines will have paved the way permitting that to happen, permitting us to succeed on our natural path, they, those machines, will have helped writting the book of evolution.
May we not forget it and reserve them the proper place in Mankind’s History.
I want to see that rocket rising, delivering the work of thousands to the outer domains.
Amazing how, in the current impossiblity of stepping that distant land, we are able to transport our senses to another planet...
The future will, eventually, bring space exploration into one, combined, single front, where the different skills and methods of scientists from different nations will be combined to obtain the most extraordinary results, untill that day arrives this mission remains as an example.
May the Phoenix succeed.
May we all succeed.

These blogs are full of enthousiasm. Combining human vision with the hard facts and science goals of the mission. Good job!
Thank you, your oppinion was really appreciated... :-)
