It started with the Viking landers in the 1970s…and since then we have been a part of every NASA mission to Mars. NASA’s InSight Mars lander will drill below the surface and study the Red Planet like never before. It will have to endure temperatures hotter than molten lava as it enters the Martian atmosphere, and then it will use friction, parachutes and thrusters to slow itself down from 12,000+ mph to just 5 mph for a soft touchdown on the surface. Quite the adventure.
