Congratulations to the InSight team on a successful landing! We'll discuss the remainder of the mission here.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Interesting! The mission blog says they believe the mole is down 30 cm, with 7 cm still in the support structure if I interpret them correctly.
We don't know how much modeling they have done and a move now seems risky, but beggars can't be choosers. Maybe they pull the structure up and it frees the mole from the structure it's rubbing against so it can proceed down at an angle. |
