The digital communique worked. On April 11, Buck sent another one-word tweet. It simply read: " Free ." 2008: A Platform to Share Major News When the Mars Phoenix found evidence of H2O on on the Red Planet in June 2008, it wasn't just the discovery that made headlines, it was also the way the organization choose to break the news.
