"It's down, baby, it's down!"

Phoenix has touched down, baby. ABC has the quote:

Pulled by Mars' gravity, Phoenix was tearing along at 20,400 kilometres per hour before it entered the atmosphere, which slowed the craft so it could pop out a parachute and fire thruster rockets to gently float to the ground and land on fold-out legs.

"It's down, baby, it's down!" yelled a NASA flight controller, looking at signals from Mars showing that Phoenix had landed.

The little fella has already started beaming images back to the Earth.
