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.

Sounds like a first step for now, tallying the results to see what to do next.. my worry of trying to 'right' the mole is that the soil is so non-cohesive that the void introduced by that action will be replaced by breaking the already somewhat packed soils around the mole currently thus loosening and making its current hole less stable, resulting in less friction than currently exists (but heck im no planetary regolith scientist im just throwing out worries here), anyways, i'd assume they may move on to riskier scenarios like that if all else fails..
