A US space probe embarked Saturday on a 10 month journey to Mars, where it will dig through Martian soil in a search for signs of life in a frigid region of the Red Planet. The Phoenix Mars Lander separated from a Delta II rocket after blasting off into the dark sky at 5:36 am (0936 GMT) from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Powered by solar panels, Phoenix, whose launch was delayed by one day following bad weather, is scheduled to land on Mars on May 25, 2008, after traveling 680 million kilometers (422 million miles) through space.
In case it gets bored they sent some reading material (http://www.space.com/news/070804_phoenix_spacelibrary.html) with it.

No Star Trek? THOSE SAVAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't want to give the probe an inferiority complex.

But it is inferior to Trek. *bows down to the Star Trek gods*

IT doesn't have to be told that though. Just like we don't need to tell it that 1/2 the Mars landers crash.
Besides if they sent trek it would probably be the Nomad or V'Ger stories and we wouldn't want to be giving it ideas like that now would we?
