@NASASolarSystem@NASAGoddard@SwRI The moon is roughly one quarter of Earth size. Here it looks much smaller, so I guess it is much further away than Earth.
Scientists & engineers launched “InSight” from Earth (a moving platform) across 300million miles to arrive where Mars (a moving target) will be seven months later, landing safely to do geophysics at the Martian equator. And you have a problem listening to us about climate change?
@NASAJPL#AskNASA Technical question for the EDL team (Aline Zimmer?): is the landing radar able to detect possible boulders and allow InSight to adjust the final landing point to avoid them? Thank you, Liviu
