are going to show up because it is a monday and people are back at work and school, but the live stream will be on the mega dome screen inside. and we got a sneak peek. the arena is seats about 200 people. if it fills up, they'll open up the planetarium which holds 240 people. the people in the audience will be focusing their attention on the insight probe. it launched six months ago and has been making the 300 million-mile journey to mars since then. it's supposed to touch down on the martian surface noon our time. there will likely be tense moments before and during the landing. there are a number of things that could go wrong. one of the big variables is the weather on mars. something like a dust storm on the surface of the red planet could thwart that landing. if all goes well, insight probe will remain on mars for the next two years. it will use a robotic probe to drill 16 feet into mars's crust and produce 3d images below the planet's surface. one of the scientists explained why the information could be so

significant. >> mars is really an intriguing destination for that purpose as well, trying to really understand what those conditions were like back 4 billion years ago. did life actually begin on mars in that timeframe? and if it did, is there any preservation of that left on the surface? >> insight also has a seismometer with it so scientists can measure mars quakes and gauge the impact of meteorite strikes. they've pulled off seven successful landings with only one failed touchdown so that's a pretty good record. hopefully the odds will be on nasa's side today. whatever happens, you can come here and watch it with your fellow space and science enthusiasts inside the mega dome theater, it starts with a watch party, live stream 11:00 this morning. you do have to get tickets. those are $8 a person. live in oakland, allie rasmus, ktvu fox 2 news. tesla ceo elon musk is
