John Batchelor and I welcomed dr. Mike Wall of Space.com to the show to discuss the early results of the Mars InSight mission's heat probe, Mole, and the attempt to drill into the Mars surface.  The Mole drilling was stopped either because of hitting a large boulder or rock or possibly by finding out that there was no tension available for the drilling tool.  Dr. Wall described how the problem was resolved but said the findings so far showed the Mars soil to be very alien or even weird.  We also talked about Mars seismic events or Mars Quakes which so far have results in surprising information.  You read the Space.com article on this story at www.space.com/mars-soil-weird-nasa-insight-lander.html.

You can email Mr. Batchelor or Dr.. Wall  through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.  Dr. Wall can also be reached through his Space.com address.
