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.

Sol 458 The scoop pushes the side of the mole's end-cap as it sinks a short distance into the ground.
The scoop appears to follow the mole down, did not see any contact with the ribbon in the images we have so far, so a remarkable job by the team in commanding that event. More to come soon. Attached a still frame as I can't create a GIF at this time, but here's a link to a set of 6 GIFs posted on Imgur and shared via the Reddit sub for InSight by u/grappleone: https://imgur.com/a/hKPFl8y |
