Awesome Astronomy - Farewell NASA's InSight Mission

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LieXZEdaDN8

Ralph Wilkins hosts.

Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.

From Dec 30, 2022.

We say farewell to NASA's Insight mission on Mars. This lander spent 6 years on the Martian surface examining the interior of the planet. It discovered that Mars is not geologically dead as we previously thought. It discovered that Mars has a larger core than we thought, its magnetic field was stronger than we thought and the crust is thinner. And in typical NASA fashion, it made us all sad to think of the little fella dying  in the cold Martian dirt. The heartless swines!
