The InSight mission has be very interesting to follow. I wonder how feasible it would be to build a handful of identical landers and disperse them to various locations around Mars. The seismometers could work in tandem, and the weather stations could watch conditions in multiple places. The moles could experiment with other types of soil. Not to mention new ground photos of some more regions.

No problem, if you have about $600M per vehicle exclusive of launch and operations cost. https://www.planetary.org/space-policy/cost-of-mars-insight -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
