Exploring Mars

NASA blasted off its latest Mars lander, InSight last week ... It is the latest effort of the space agency to explore the Red planet. The nearly thousand million dollar project will attempt to expand human knowledge of interior conditions on Mars, inform efforts to send human explorers there, and reveal how rocky planets like the Earth formed billions of years ago.

If all goes as planned, the lander should settle on the Red Planet on November 26th.

Its name, InSight, is short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations,

So what exactly is InSight expected to tell us... How will it arm us with information that we need to know as humans to explore Mars
