Watch Mars InSight Land On Mars – The NASA Mars InSight will touchdown on November the 26, 2018 at approximately at 12pm PT.
While this mission is uber cool, what is unfortunately not so cool is that Perth is 16 hours behind Pacific time, meaning to watch live online as Mars InSight touches down on Mars we would have to be up at 4am – which could be manageable, especially considering you can easily watch on your phone from the comfort of your bed.

Studying the ‘Inner Space’ of Mars
InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, is a Mars lander designed to give the Red Planet its first thorough checkup since it formed 4.5 billion years ago.
It is the first outer space robotic explorer to study in-depth the “inner space” of Mars: its crust, mantle, and core.
