Ellie Colwill - NASA may have detected a 'Marsquake' for the first time.

NASA's Mars Insight Mission has only been up and running for a couple of months now, but it has already come with tremendous results. On April 6, also the Insight lander's 128th day on mars, the Lander had recorded some tremblings that most likely came from the within the planet. According to analysis, we may have discovered our very first 'marsquake.' Although there are some cartoons about how the crust and the metallic core of mars looks like, Mark Panning states that they still don't know exactly how large the crust and the metallic core are.

In US History i would relate this to The Space Race. The race between Soviet Union and the US to show their achievements on their space exploration. During this race, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, relating to the idea that we found what might be the first 'marsquake.'
