Episode notes
Mars Once Had Oceans And Possibly Life
- Mars was likely a blue, water-bearing planet billions of years ago and so could have hosted life.
- Brian Cory Dobbs argues planetary data and rover photos suggest microbial and possibly intelligent ancient life on Mars.
Viking Monitors Were Recolored Red
- Ron Levin, son of a Viking team member, described NASA staff altering blue-skied Viking monitor colors to make Mars look red.
- Brian Cory Dobbs recounts that Ron reverted the change and was reprimanded, implying a long history of color manipulation.
Rover Photos Reveal Unusual Artifacts
- Rover images occasionally show objects that don't match surrounding geology and merit closer inspection.
- Dobbs says independent researchers routinely upscale NASA images and find smooth, symmetric objects suggestive of artifacts.
