Not sure where else to post this but I thought it was pretty cool.
Actual sound of wind sent back by InSight on Mars. First noise from another planet that I know of. Not sure how to directly embed. It's about a page and a half down on this URL. https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/07/li...nsight-lander/ |

Launch tomorrow morning (Tuesday) at 9:10am Eastern. No landing attempt (and no legs) due to an intense mission. High profile launch with a GPS satellite. But assuming all goes well, it'll be pretty mundane to watch.

Scrubbed again this morning due to weather. Hopefully they can go tomorrow morning. Roughly the same time.
In more interesting news, they've shifted the BFR/BFS (now called Falcon Super Heavy and Starship, respectively) from a carbon fiber design to using some sort of stainless steel alloy. The "hopper" version is officially under construction, and Elon hopes to have a full update on it in March or April.

In theory, we're on again in 15 minutes. This has to be nearing the record for number of scrubs.
