Mars Landing Today at 3:00 pm Eastern

NASA's InSight spacecraft is aiming for a bull's-eye touchdown on Mars around 3 p.m. today, Nov 26, 2018.

After traveling six months and 300 million miles, the robotic geologist must go from 12,300 mph to zero in six minutes flat.
Houston, I Have No Problem

NASA's Mars InSight lander successfully touched down on Mars this afternoon.

NASA has landed eight of its Mars attempts over the last four decades. No other country has successfully landed and operated a spacecraft on Mars' surface.
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.
Fascinating video explaining InSight spacecraft mission, and a whole lot more.
