Phoenix lander now with free dvd. (Delivery to Mars only, terms & conditions apply)

Take a look at the round disc on the left of the american flag... Yep, that's a mini dvd. What's on it you ask? Why, an assortment of things; "a message to future Martian explorers, science fiction stories and art inspired by the Red Planet as well as the names of more than a quarter-million earthlings"
Great idea! I'm sure the super-advanced aliens out there that we haven't met yet, all use mini dvd roms... I bet they also read English (& the american version at that), would understand our art and would like to know the names of our people, just in case they want to take over our bodies, or pretend to be one of us in an effort to understand all those splashes of paint we like to call "modern art". :P
