The mole is digging deeper into #Mars thanks to the tremendous efforts by my team. Unofficial depth is ~38 cm down in the ground, almost the length of the mole (40 cm). This may be the last time we see the mole, more drilling later this week. #SaveTheMole #DiggingMars pic.twitter.com/c1sZsGSLxj

Great news! How soon before you can take temperature readings?

We can measure the temperature of the mole right now. The first sensor on the science tether is about 10 cm behind the mole's back cap. But to really get our desired science data the mole needs to get to 2.5 - 3 meters deep at a minimum... so it's got a ways to go.

How fast does the mole dig? Seems like it’s pretty slow?

So far around 0.1 mm / stroke. It's speed depends entirely on the properties of the regolith it's digging into... and that's part of the fun of doing something totally new - we're really not sure what to expect.
