About this audiobook
The story of NASA's Viking program, the two orbiter-lander pairs that reached Mars in 1976 and landed on the first tries: the site certification summer, the first clear photographs from another planet's surface, the three biology experiments and their famous ambiguous verdict, the orbiters' discovery of ancient rivers and floods, and the six-year surface record that anchored Martian science for a generation.
