Can someone provide some insight why they would launch InSIGHT to Mars from Vandenberg AFB instead of Cape Canaveral? Seems like the launch azimuth and subsequent orbital inclination heading out to Mars would be quite a waste of vehicle energy. Any ideas??? Current schedule is for launch on March 4th, 2016 at 1:50am PST (according to SpaceFlightNow). Thanks.
