300,000,000 million mile journey. And you thought your drive to... was long.

Sorry, no Mars, best I have at the moment.

    Thanks for the news. I didn't know it made it.

    Should have taken a Buffalo Nickel with it to let Black Diamond graze on the open Martian plain.

    Cool pic. Thought I saw a Sackie peeking out from under the duct tape -- how much are they worth on Mars?

    I read a lot of Science Fiction as a kid and young adult. I mean a lot.

    So, of course am pretty psyched with each advancement into space.

    Add this mission to the list of marvels we're fortunate to see

    Insight’s landing on Mars

    360 view - Skip to about the 49 min mark for descent.

    And to keep it coin related. The feeling of this accomplishment is somewhat akin to finding that ONE coin you have been searching decades for and it is finally in your hoard. :) 🚀

    The mission should have included dropping coins on Mars surface just to collect them years later and sell them here.....I'm sure those would be worth a fortune!!!!
