When it became clear that a definitive answer on whether there is life, or even water, on Mars would be forthcoming, interest of the general public was kindled. For the first time in human history we observed the landing of two space observers on the surface of another world.
In the exploration of the planet Mars, the historical significance of the mission became quite apparent. Learning of these great happenings, there was little tolerance for ambiguity. The press was largely attentive; television followed the mission closely.
When we found evidence of water on the surface of Mars, as was first reported, the announcement was greeted by a jubilant chorus. They wanted Mars to be, in this respect, like the Earth.
Progressively audiences became disinterested as Mars was revealed to be less and less like the Earth. Martian landscapes are staggering, the vistas breath-taking. The sky of Mars is found to be pinkish-yellow rather than blue.
An enormous global interest exists in the exploration of the planets and in many kindred scientific topics; life's origins, the Earth and our connection with the universe.
Certainly this interest could be excited through that most powerful communications medium, television.

The number of scientists who can speak in clear tongues and occasionally touch on near-poetry is small.
The fact of having thus risen, instead of having been aboriginally placed there, may give Man hopes for a still higher destiny in the distant future.As far as our reason allows us to discover the truth and penetrate into the movements and constitution of the solar system, Man bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin.
Breath taking photos of Mars Terrain hint at a mysterious cyclic past in transmission from Mars satellite offering a glimpse into the complex past of the now dry and dusty world.
