InSight is not on the Red Planet to search for evidence of alien life. Instead, it will be the first spacecraft to drill down into the deep interior of Mars, and scientists hope the data it gathers will give them clues into how planets form and evolve.
There ya go...
Fascinating video explaining InSight spacecraft mission, and a whole lot more.
