Applause in the press room to celebrate the successful separation of
#MarsInsight from the Atlas rocket, with a few scattered “Whooo!”s as the two MarsCo cubesats peel off. Go go, lil robot! Let us know you’re happy?Diesen Thread anzeigen
Ahhh, I’m tearing up in the press room. Philippe Lognonné’s last seismometer launched but didn’t get out of Earth orbit 22 years ago. This time his seismometer is on the way to Mars. He’s so happy & celebratory & nothing but nothing will dim that high, not even poor visibility.

All Bruce Banerdt’s kids showed up to watch
#MarsInSight launch with him. Now in their 30s, he’s been working to get this type of geophysics mission to Mars their entire lives. (He started same year his 2nd-youngest was born) He’s been up over 24 hours & is still just glowingDiesen Thread anzeigen -
...I am getting so sappy during interviews. Anyone who thinks scientists are unemotional automatons needs to cover a successful launch, flyby, or landing. (Why yes, I am plotting

I’ve been informed that this lovely golden black of the
#MarsInSight launch is “Charleston Green,” made from mixing mostly black with a hint of yellow for repainting homes after the war.pic.twitter.com/Spraa2qw9u
