As you might be aware, NASA’s InSight robotic lander that was launched on the 5th of May reached the surface of Mars on November 26, marking another tremendous step in human ans space exploration history. Upon entering Mars’ atmosphere, InSight had reached the speed of 12,300 miles per hour (5.5 kilometers per second), a mind-boggling speed for us, earthlings.
Joining the Curiosity and Opportunity rovers, InSight is the third functional spacecraft currently on Mars. With thousands, including the NASA staff, watching the spacecraft land, everyone waited for the first shots in anticipation.
