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.

“…but that they expected InSight’s landing place to have cohesionless soils because that’s what other Martian landing sites have been like.
InSight seems to have been unlucky enough to land in a place where the soil is compacted into a harder material called a duricrust,…” What would have happened if they had landed at VL or VL2 landing sites, with high soil cohesion ? |
