Of all the missions that NASA has sent to Mars over the past decade, the InSight lander might be the one that has caused the most problems. The lander successfully touched down on Mars a couple of years back and it quickly became clear that something wasn’t working as intended when it deployed its self-hammering “mole” probe.
The probe was meant to drill into the surface before getting a better look at it, enabling scientists to better monitor and analyze it. That didn't pan out, though. Instead the probe chipped a piece off its own body and fell back down to the planet.

That’s not where the problem lies—-though some experts think it should be. She’ll provide more info when I can.

On Thursday, Labour MP Michael Gove expressed surprise at Prime Minister Theresa May's decision to trade Trident for 100 new nuclear weapons. "If you're going to give up this piece of human heritage, why would you not give up Trident too?" he asked Andrea Leadsom, the former Energy minister who is now the British Secretary in the Department for Energy.
The Mirror published excerpts of Gove's interview with ITV's Good Morning Britain. An edited transcript follows:
GLORY: Should we have Trident here and the French should have Trident here, should somebody else?
MICHAEL GOVOUR: Well, whether or not you have Trident should be a matter for Britain, because I'm sure you'll agree that the UK is better placed to take care of its national defence than France, or Germany, or the US, for that matter.
AMY GOODMAN: That was leader of the opposition, Labour MP and Secretary of State for Energy, Michael Gove,
