Steve Squyres is a guest on set in Pasadena. He is the head of the Spirit and Opportunity landers. An excellent person to interview. Finally. Any science show with Squyres a part of it is a good show. And he just told me something I didn't know. Phoenix isn't a rover, just a lander. Drilling into the ice is it's only purpose and the ice better be under it or the data wanted from the mission won't be there.
