The solar powered Mars Phoenix had the mother of all green jobs, using a robotic arm to scoop up soils samples on Mars.The mother of all green jobs probably belongs to the Phoenix Mars, which launched last year and went to work on Mars for several months with a robotic arm to dig and scoop up soil samples for on-board analysis.
