NASA's InSight spacecraft just launched to Mars

NASA’s InSight spacecraft just launched to Mars. Equipped with cutting-edge instruments to study Mars’ crust, mantle, and core, InSight will provide a never-before-seen look at the red planet’s inner workings. The Verge’s Loren Grush visited Vandenberg Air Force Base for the launch, which marks the beginning of InSight’s six-month journey to Mars.

What do you think we will find beneath the martian surface?

You can tell the disappointment in her because she couldn't see the rocket

[Shadow_Men]

Thank you Loren and the team! I live in a country far far away, and would never get to see these with my own eyes. Appreciate the works, go get some rest though.

She’s like, I woke up at 1:30 a.m. for this?!

No mention of the body shaking tones from the lift off. I would have been happy with that.

Wish they had showed the shaker table and the shaking test.   One of the most interesting tests I have helped conduct.
Wow.  They show her instead of most of the visible launch.   Who edits this?

[horacefairview]

I'm ticking the bell - pretty sure I won't regret it

Lauren, never make a launch video after being up all night drinking like the opening shot. :-)

Haters gonna say it’s fake and Earth is flat

[agrntn]

The anchor in the video is a insult to the work.

[richardxx]

I don't watch i... it... it's just too scary. WTF?

[canary]

I wonder how all these rockets pass through the firmament ?

Fog: Welcome to Vandenberg!


FYI: Two NASA missions was launched on foggy weather lately, previously Jason-3 also launched by Falcon 9 on very dense fog weather.

[MrGothicruler]
