Here's NASA's new idea to get its stubborn Martian drill to work

Well over a year after NASA's InSight lander parachuted down to the Martian surface, the space agency still hasn't been able to drill too far into the red soil. .

From tens of millions of miles away, the space agency will direct the InSight lander to take its robotic arm (which has a black shovel on the end), to "push" on top of the drill. .

"The InSight team hopes that pushing on this location will help the mole it bury itself and enable the heat probe to take Mars' temperature," NASA said.
