The key to the rapidly expanding interest in the planets is the question that has intrigued thinking men for is Earth the only centuries place to harbor life? Best Place to Start scientists think there must be some kind of life somewhere else and they say Mars is the best place to start looking This idea was buoyed w hen recently photographs taken the Manner 9 by showed that Mars is a dynamic, evolving planet with what seems to be unmistakable evidence it once had great volumes of water flowing across its surface Many There also has been speculation that life might exist in Jupiter's thick and colorful atmosphere. And Cornell University astronomers reported recently they have found that Titan, the largest of the 10 moons of Saturn has an atmosphere that might support life "Our research has shown that at the very least." Dr Carl Sagan said. "Titan should be littered with the kind of organic molecule which, in the eariy history of the Earth, led to the origin of hie " now The investigations planned will concentrate on a direct search for biological on Mars substances Two large unmanned Viking space-crat- t will be launched toward the red planet in 1975 and land in the warmest, dampest places available there in July and August, 1976 Dig.
