Red Planet InSight: Why Do We Keep Going Back to Mars?
umanity has gazed at Mars for centuries, dreaming of what might lie on its dust-orange surface. As our telescopes improved, so did our picture of the Red Planet, though scientists' interpretation of that growing detail has not always been accurate. The first mission to successfully view Mars up close, Mariner 4, beamed home a handful of blurry crater views, but the missions that followed-those that succeeded; the overall failure rate is upward of 50 percent for Mars painted a clearer picture of the planet's dusty, bouldery present. More recently wetter ancient past for the planet that could have hosted Earth-like life, and so the search for life continues, though it now stretches to the past. And the planet has less scrambling of material from tectonic movement than Earth.
NASA's InSight Mars mission, set to touch down on Monday (Nov. 26), will delve deeper below the planet's surface than any mission before it, learning about the planet's interior. InSight is a smaller mission than many of the rovers and orbiters preceding it, but it's the latest in a long line of robotic emissaries to explore our planetary neighbor. [Missions to Mars: A Robot Red Planet Invasion History (Infographic)] "Mars is an incredible natural laboratory right next door to Earth," Lori Glaze, the acting director of NASA's planetary sciences division, said during a news briefing for InSight on Nov. 21. "We really want to understand how we came up with this diversity of rocky planets in our solar system-they're all very different, each one of them is unique in its own way.
