NASA Mars lander to touch down today

Daily Wire.
InSight, the name of the lander, stands for "Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport." “The landing will kick off a two-year mission in which InSight will become the first spacecraft to study Mars' deep interior,” NASA said on its website. “Its data also will help scientists understand the formation of all rocky worlds, including our own.”
Much more at the link including drama and suspense! Plus simulation video, and comments loaded with snappy partisan snark. Example:
Sheila Jackson Lee wants to know whether the lander will be near the American flag
planted, in 1969, by Neil Armstrong.🤣
Ha ha ha ha. Stop it already, yer kill'n me. No really, stop it.

Will this lander cause Guam to flip over? I can’t recall the Georga rep who worried about Guam’’s stability.
