Did they check the units used by all of the s/w modules in their on-board computers?

I take hugh pride in NASA missions coming back.

To see NASA turning away from a climate change hoax “research” center pumping out fake analysis to fit Obama’s agenda back to space exploration makes me really happy.

NASA’s Mars InSight rover is on its way to the red planet. The Atlas V rocket carrying the rover into space launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 4:05 a.m. on Saturday, May 5.

...

The first interplanetary mission from the West coast.

I read that it was due to launch date availability and the rocket having enough power to compensate for the high inclination orbit.

I don’t think it’s a rover.

Atlas was designed over 50 years ago. Good designs stay in style.
