The chemistry of life on Mars

Article Abstract:

A 1976 Viking Lander experiment found possible signs of life on Mars. A call for reevaluation of the data has gained some support, with the key issue the possibility that organic compounds may be on Mars, despite negative gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) findings. Assertions of Gilbert Levin, who designed the only biological test to detect what might have been life on the Mars surface, are discussed.
