Leonard David's INSIDE OUTER SPACE

This is a wait-a-minute collection of discussion regarding finding life on Mars.

A program from William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia took on the questions: Is there life outside of the Earth?

This is a fundamental question that will impact all areas of human knowledge and human understanding.

Two NASA Viking landers launched in 1975 successfully landed on the surface of Mars on July 20 and February 3, 1976.  Each Viking lander carried three life detection experiments to search for active life on Mars.  The two Viking landers are world’s first, and to-date, the only spacecraft to carry instrumentation to look for active life on the surface of Mars.

Viking results: discussed and debated 

The results of the Viking life detection experiments have been discussed and debated since they were obtained 50 years ago.

This series of presentations discussed the Viking Mission and the latest interpretation of the Viking life detection experiments and then outlined the U. S. plan for sending humans to Mars and returning them safely to Earth.
