Yeah this sent me down a rabbit hole. Apparently "NASA had previously decided to declare the mission over if the lander missed two communication attempts" (https://mars.nasa.gov/news/9321/nasa-retires-insight-mars-lander-mission-after-years-of-science/?site=insight https://mars.nasa.gov/news/9321/nasa-retires-insight-mars-la...).
Ah well, nothing wrong with a little space theatre!
- saalweachter 4y agoSo the message was no message? How do we know the lander wasn't captured by Martians and locked in a faraday cage, in dire need of rescue?
- salawat 4y agoWe have other vehicles we could actually probably get cross checks from. Plus, that'd require some serious level of knowledge to fake a foreign species computational responses from little more than non-invasive scans of chips. ...Unless they are that good... and everything we've been sent is a cleverly constructed ruse. It's clear, there is only one option. Who's up for an expedition?
