One of the things that fascinate me the most about mechanical things is how they build them, especially the very first steps in the process. NASA has released this photo of the first assembly step of their next Mars lander. It seems like some lost part from a Celestial designed by Jack Kirby.
Technicians in a Lockheed Martin clean room near Denver prepare NASA’s InSight Mars lander for propulsion proof and leak testing on Oct. 31, 2014.
