A vehicle that supported the Mars InSight Roadshow

Mars InSight Roadshow was a traveling exhibit/activity center for education and public outreach in support of the InSight Mars lander and space exploration and space science.[1] Supported by caravan of vehicles, the roadshow functioned as an exhibit for institutions and/or events and also conducted public talks.[2][3][4] The roadshow was staffed by people from the InSight mission, science teams, and/or members of NASA.[5] One of the tasks was to explain the mission and to increase awareness about research and science.[6] The roadshow included talks, exhibits, and activities that were available at certain times and locations as the roadshow travelled to different locations.[7]
