Today\u2019s the day for the Mars InSight lander\u2019s touchdown on the Red Planet, and NASA is pulling out all the stops to let us in on the action.<\/p>\n

This is the first Mars landing to take place since the Curiosity rover was lowered onto the rocky terrain of Gusev Crater more than six years ago. And in the final hours of InSight\u2019s nearly seven-month, 300 million-mile-cruise, the two robots are having quite a conversation on Twitter. (There\u2019s even an in-joke over \u201csol,\u201d which is NASA\u2019s term for a Martian day.)<\/p>\n
