How sensitive is the seismometer on the InSight mission to Mars?

Sensitive enough to pick up the sound of the Martian wind blowing over the lander.

We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

I couldn't hear it.  But I can imagine hearing it knowing that it "was".  And that is good enough for now...
Atheist born, atheist bred.  And when I die, atheist dead!
