NASA’s InSight mission to Mars has returned a lot of valuable data, but one of its instruments has fallen well short of expectations.
The self-hammering “mole” tool was supposed to burrow deep beneath the Martian surface, but it’s failed miserably.
After months and months of trial and error, NASA is officially giving up on the mole and has decided to stop messing with it.
