00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:17,240
Mars showed seasonal variations that

2
00:00:22,210 --> 00:00:20,250
suggested something was alive and I

3
00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:22,220
think that was the basis for going

4
00:00:27,530 --> 00:00:24,689
creating Viking to see if there was life

5
00:00:31,999 --> 00:00:27,540
on Mars when we got down and found out

6
00:00:34,850 --> 00:00:32,009
how shall we say dry and arid and barren

7
00:00:36,830 --> 00:00:34,860
the place really was came as a bit of a

8
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:36,840
surprise we had hoped to find

9
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:40,710
microscopic life the thing that happened

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:44,640
that kind of left us in a quandary was

11
00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:48,210
the three experiments that were directly

12
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:51,809
like detecting did it breathe did it eat

13
00:00:56,689 --> 00:00:54,570
did it do photosynthesis all said

14
00:00:58,279 --> 00:00:56,699
there's something here and when you

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:00:58,289
tried to find the dead bodies you

16
00:01:03,169 --> 00:01:00,690
couldn't so that kind of left us in the

17
00:01:05,180 --> 00:01:03,179
position why the jury is still out and I

18
00:01:07,310 --> 00:01:05,190
think that is the basis why we're

19
00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:07,320
continuing the experiment looking for
