    Watching live via NASA channel on Apple TV.
    Amazing collaboration of many partners in science community.
    Great to see the watch parties in schools around the country.
    Fingers crossed for 20min time.

    I bet that InSight probe is wearing a Speedmaster.

    First shot before removal of the dust cover. You can see the horizon and one of the 3 feet on the lander.

    Good news: the owner if the Speedmaster now owns the First Speedy on Mars which is now worth a million bucks! Bad news: The retrieval mission pencils in at about $1 billion.

    As luck would have it, THE X-33 Mars arrived today back from a spa retreat.
    What will be on the wrist when we touch down on Mars.

    I'm late to the show, but I'm going to wear my X33 tomorrow in honor of this event.
