This year seems to be quite an active time for all the people who have their eyes set on the "final frontier." With Tesla being launched into space, and Kepler's fuel running out, it was just the time for another big event on the horizon. Launched on the 5th of May NASA mission's, called InSight, robotic lander had made a Mars landing yesterday, November 26, marking another tremendous step in human, as well as space exploration, history. Upon entering Mars' atmosphere, InSight had reached the speed of 12,300 miles per hour (5.5 kilometers per second), a mind-boggling speed for us, measly earthlings.
Joining the Curiosity and Opportunity rovers, InSight is the third functional spacecraft currently on Mars. With thousands, including the NASA staff, watching the spacecraft land, everyone waited for the first Mars photos in anticipation. And behold, we already have two images taken by InSight, and it wouldn't be the age of the internet if people didn't post funny memes and space jokes about them.

this one is....too much, I cracked again, oh my poor stomach...you are making me laugh too much

Well, Mars is busy with...things...I forgot what they were called.
Just wait, someone is going to post this to snopes.com and ask if it's real...
Yeah, but they're such perfectionists the shots had to be filmed on Mars.

aw this one was a bit sad. why do I keep thinking of these machines as dogs? does anyone else do this?
Fun fact: Mars is the only planet in the solar system to be solely inhabited by robots...
poor thing, she did a good job, this is madness, one moment laughing the next sad as a.....whatever it is that is sad
hey, nobody is going to credit the artist ? that's a reap off of XKCD's work !
So sad... That's exactly how I feel when I hear one of these incredible machines have been left to "die"... :'(
The left one is a Graphic Designers interpretation of what Mars looks like- before we sent the Mars Rover to Mars.

No!!! That will take 5 million years to bio-degrade on the surface of Mars.
Maybe less. And not “bio” degrade. There’s barely any shielding on Mars from stellar radiation, so it might possibly chemically break down much faster there. I’m not a materials expert, so I could be wrong.

to everyone who doesn't get the reference: its from the book The Martian by Andy Weir. the main character, matt damon, is stranded on mars and grows potatoes using his s**t as a fertilizer. its a good book, go read it.
What is the deal with meerkats? There's this kid some of my classess and he's got a badge that says "no snakes" and a lot of really ugly meerkats and i'm so confused
oh that means that after some trillion years, next we will appear, but first an asteroid has the crash on Mars, of course
It doesn't matter where in the galaxy you are, Kapton is the tape you should be using.
ET PHONE HOME that proves theres life out there on MARS!!!
And to think I used to not be able to find ;my car at Walmart Parking lots. This one looks a bit rough. Where is the handicap parking zone?
The floating crust, the fluid mantle, the core... why haven't we noticed this before?

George Washington, looks like. Human brains have this tendency to connect random lines, shadows and reflections to form images they can recognize. Happens to me all the time, and everyone I know.
we have to admit that even though humans are destroying Earth, they have a great sense of humour
As an Irish person, I have to say..... how the heck did you know!?
This poor machine's selfie is getting too many photoshops......LOL LOL LOL love it
