The question of life on Mars has captivated imaginations for generations. Dr. Sagan guides us through a journey to the red planet, beginning with the visions of science fiction writers and then moving to the stark reality captured by two Viking spacecrafts. Since 1976, these probes have transmitted thousands of images depicting the breathtaking Martian landscape back to Earth. Despite drawing upon earlier Mars explorations, Sagan’s insights remain remarkably relevant.
