West to Mars: NASA's InSight Mars lander to make historic west coast launch [i]In its 60 year history, NASA has launched more than 50 spacecraft to study the solar system beyond Earth and its moon. Despite the long record, the agency's next mission will do something no other U.S. interplanetary probe has done before. Go west.
