I heard it on the “X”

The Insight project has requirements: baseline and threshold science. If those requirements are met the project has to justify an extended mission operations plan. Sometimes the extra data doesn’t add to the science. Those who claim “cleaning the solar arrays” is a missed opportunity are mistaken. The data has been collected and the teams of operations engineers are needed elsewhere.

I just visited Hadrian’s Wall at Birdoswald and the museum claims that the decline of supplies and pay forced the Roman soldiers (from all parts of the empire) to start local farms/businesses. They never left.
