It'll be just like those scenes in alien invasion films where the community comes together in the bustling city to marvel at the feats of humanity. But instead of watching the alien mothership explode, you'll see a real-world space achievement years in the making.

It's worth getting there early to get a pretzel and a good position (Times Square is a crush at the best of times). From there, you'll be able to grip a stranger's hand as NASA waits through the "seven minutes of terror" to safely get the lander on the Red Planet -- that's the time when NASA won't be able to control InSight and will instead be relying on commands preprogrammed into the spacecraft. That's good TV!
