NASA InSight on Mars

Craig, you're dropping the ball here!

 

InSight lands safely on Mars today and it's ready to explore the surface...

[Craig Arko]

I encourage you to seize the ball and run with it.

[Mike Sixel]

Very cool!

Just one teeny tiny thing. The mission of InSight is to study the interior of Mars, not the surface.

You say this as if it were a bad thing.

I still get picked last at basketball. I still know nothing about mars. I’m a sad panda.

It's pretty uncanny, esp. the insignia--does that shape have any relevance to China? I didn't ever really understand it for Star Trek, because it looks like an A.
