An interesting, and successful, landing. I watched it unfold on NASA TV a few minutes ago. If successful, this mission will provide further insight into how the planets formed, and perhaps supply some information that will be helpful, when, or if, a Mars mission with humans is attempted.

They're measuring quakes. Almost said earth-quakes, LOL. Seismic activity anyway.

Elon Musk said in an interview Sunday that he'll probably move to Mars.The SpaceX chief executive said there's a "70 percent chance" he'll get to Mars within his lifetime, with plans to permanently resettle on the Red Planet. Musk said his desire to colonize Mars is driven by the same passion that fuels people to climb mountains - for the challenge.
"We've recently made a number of breakthroughs that I am just really just fired up about," Musk said during an interview with "Axios on HBO."

And earlier today Russia announced that they are planning on going for a moon landing in the [said] near future. In the report a comment was made that then they'll know if [we] really went.....I guess they're planning on landing in the same neighborhood...:)

I hope that comment was made in jest. That attitude that questions the truth of the Apollo Moon missions is just pathetic.

I personally would rather the money be used to alleviate some of the pain and human suffering here on earth instead of a look-see at a distant planet.

This I agree with. Tang isn't all that tasty anyway............:)

I realize that we likely gained many useful items & such from our past space exploration but.........Nothing is more important than what you noted.
