[quote:Anonymous Coward 75455534:MV8zODI0Mjk3XzY4NzQ0OTc2XzMzRjAxRjAz] If it doesn't blow up on the launch-pad, a two year wait for it to crash and burn on Mar's surface. Who really gives a shit, when the money would be better spent fixing pot-holed roads and crumbling bridges. Still the 0.01% might feel glad if, one day, they have another planet they can run to.

MARS LANDER TO LAUNCH FROM CALIFORNIA: This weekend, NASA will attempt something it has never done before: to launch an interplanetary spacecraft from the West Coast of the USA. If all goes as planned, the InSight Mars lander will blast off from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 4:05 am Pacific Time on Saturday, May 5th. The Atlas 5 rocket plume and subsequent clouds of icy exhaust glittering in the dawn sky could be visible across southern California and beyond. Stay tuned for updates.
