\"The<\/div>

Final Destination<\/h2>

A six-month-long journey that could shape the future of humanity reached its nail-biting conclusion<\/a> today.<\/p>

On May 5th, NASA launched<\/a> its InSight Mars lander from California’s Vanderberg Air Force Base. On Monday afternoon, following “seven minutes of terror<\/a>,” the craft reached its final destination — Elysium Planitia<\/a>, a flat plain near the Red Planet’s equator — where it will now spend the next two years conducting scientific research focused on the planet’s interior.<\/p>

Everybody’s Talking<\/h2>

InSight’s efforts have the potential to teach us valuable information about the formation of rocky planets<\/a> in our solar system. They could also inform our plans to one day visit, and perhaps colonize<\/a>, the Red Planet.<\/p>

No surprise, then, that the success of the landing set the internet ablaze. Here’s what notable experts, organizations, and politicians had to say about InSight’s triumphant touchdown.<\/p>
