Did they check the units used by all of the s/w modules in their on-board computers?

I take hugh pride in NASA missions coming back.
To see NASA turning away from a climate change hoax “research” center pumping out fake analysis to fit Obama’s agenda back to space exploration makes me really happy.

Meh. A yard and a meter are about the same. Close enough.

NASA’s Mars InSight rover is on its way to the red planet. The Atlas V rocket carrying the rover into space launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 4:05 a.m. on Saturday, May 5.
...
The first interplanetary mission from the West coast.
I read that it was due to launch date availability and the rocket having enough power to compensate for the high inclination orbit.

I finally toured Kennedy Space Center recently. I sat on bench for an hour looking at the massive Saturn 5 engines, just trying to realize what I was seeing.

Wrong. Clementine was launched to the Moon from Vandy in January, 1994.

Since this launch was made from California, I’m wondering if Governor Moonbeam is requiring NASA to get MARS drilling permits. I understand that protesters were complaining about possible MARS contamination issues.

Atlas was designed over 50 years ago. Good designs stay in style.
