Watch NASA land INSIGHT on Mars!!!!

It's been less than 7 months since the INSIGHT lander took off from Vandenberg Air Force Base on top of an Atlas V rocket... and NOW it's going to be landing on Mars! This is super exciting! First landing since Curiosity in 2012. First time we'll be drilling deep into Mars to see what lies below the surface. First time we'll be measuring Mars quakes precisely.

There'll be 7 minutes of terror as NASA will lose communications with INSIGHT as it begins descent. During that time, Insight will enter the atmosphere and bleed off speed using a heat shield, then a parachute bleeds off more speed, and lastly it will drop out of a shell and propulsively land softly on the surface (hopefully).
