To extend that success to other worlds, scientists placed seismometers on the Apollo missions to the Moon and on the Viking Mars landers, which reached Mars in 1976. Though the Apollo detectors proved a resounding success, Viking’s results on Mars were less clear: Viking 1’s seismometer failed to deploy properly, and Viking 2 recorded only two ambiguous events.

Longtime Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Allen Bailey has died at the age of 37, the team announced on Wednesday. Bailey played eight of his 10 NFL seasons with the team from 2011 to 2018. Allen’s brother, Alford Bailey Jr., told TMZ that Bailey was found dead at his home on Tuesday by his wife. No foul play is suspected and the family believes Bailey died of natural causes. “Obviously, it’s terrible to hear the news that we heard,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “A great teammate - you see him and he was one of those glue guys on the team. He makes plays, but [he’s] not necessarily the superstar. He kind of makes everything go...we’re praying for him and his family.”Head coach Andy Reid also paid his respects. “Our hearts go out to his family,” Reid said. “Our prayers are with them. Way too young, obviously, one of my favourite players. A great kid and I’m just sorry to see that happen to him.”A native of Sapelo Island, GA, Bailey was originally selected with the 86th overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Miami. He would go on to appear in 133 games with the Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons.

Jordan Elliott, the defensive lineman released Tuesday by the Tennessee Titans, reportedly ⁠went to his car to retrieve a gun after an altercation in practice last ⁠Thursday. Ordered to leave ⁠the ​field after a scuffle with right tackle JC Latham, Elliott took off his ⁠pads, left the facility and went to the players’ lot where security cameras captured the ⁠scene, according to multiple reports from A to Z Sports ​and KPRC2. Defensive lineman John ‌Franklin-Myers reportedly talked ‌Elliott down and no one was hurt. Elliott did ‌not practice Friday due to “personal reasons” and was inactive for Sunday’s 26-20 win against the Indianapolis Colts. After reviewing the footage, the Titans opted to release the 28-year-old, who had signed a two-year, $8m ‌deal during the offseason. “On Thursday 15 October, there was an incident at our team ​facility involving Jordan Elliott,” the Titans said in a statement. “Following our review of the incident, we have made the decision to release Elliott from our roster. We will ⁠have no further comment on the matter. “Elliott appeared ​in the ​first five games of the season for the Titans.
