Video: Busy week for NASA

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) had a full plate this week. The Phoenix lander dug into Martial soil, hunting for signs of life on the red planet. Astronauts attached a new, cutting-edge laboratory to the The International Space Station. And looking ahead, the US House Science and Technology Committee signed off on a $20.21 billion NASA authorization bill for fiscal 2009 – that's $2.6 billion more than the Bush administration requested.

Before we head into the weekend, here's a look back through the week's space news.
