Lets hope this mission can be rescued.

They made contact, true -- but the window for a return trip from Mars back to Earth closed yesterday, so now Phobos-Grunt can't perform the mission it was sent up to do in the first place. It can do surface work and analysis, but can't bring anything back. Bittersweet victory, IMO.
