NASA’s Viking Project resulted in a pair of successful landings on Mars in 1976, and they were groundbreaking missions in many respects. The spacecraft, which were the first from the US to make a safe landing on the Red Planet, returned images and data from the planet’s surface, and the two landers helped shape future missions to Mars.
Now, a scientist deeply involved in the Viking missions says that if we’re looking for life on Mars, we probably already found it. In a new op-ed, Gilbert Levin, principal investigator of the Viking Labeled Release experiment, says that data sent back from the Mars in the 1970s is proof that life exists on the planet.
