The Phoenix lander is set to land on Mars in a bit over an hour. Its been en route for about 10 months traveling at 12,000 mph and tonight is the most challenging time for the Phoenix because of the huge probability that it could crash and millions of dollars and months of peoples lives will be wasted. You can watch live coverage on Nasa.tv if you're so inclined.
I believe so. Phoenix's purpose however is to investigate for signs of ice and water and then to determine the possibilities of life

It's going to the north pole for further investigation.
and to those a bit interested in the process, here is Roving Mars (part 1 of X), showing the design, launch, and post-landing of the Spirit+Opportunity rovers (produced by Disney :) )
