X band kit at the ready.

You'll need a fair bit of X band kit unless the craft have higher gain antennas than they have been using. For MCOA & B Madrid uses Deep Space Station 63 (DSS-63) Anniversary (70m) and still only gets -155 to-160dBm if they are lucky. They don't get much more than that from InSight on a 35m dish. NSYT is about 20-30dB below my threshold on a 1.2m.
 
Sure enough - its on NASA HD on 13E :)

Live coverage starts at 1900 utc
 
It landed safely, but now does it have enough change for the parking meter???
 
Can it run from the Martian hordes ?
 
Did they pack the right adaptor for the mains plug? Hope the voltage is the same as well!
 
And the first photo from the lander..

Well it could be messy if they find oil, but drilling for sure, it will be the deepest exploratory vertical drill in history, it does look like the mission is going well so far! (there that's jynxed it now)
 
If oil is confirmed as existent on Mars the scientists would have to admit that life existed elsewhere (and we can't have that)

Most dissertations that mention this possibility are buried away.
