Description: Dr. Carl Sagan, and Gerald Soffler discuss the geophysis of the planet Mars. Through the eye of Mariner 9, they interpret radio waves and photographs to suggest positive features on the surface of Mars, such as volcanoes, enormous rift valleys and characteristic patterns of terrestrial stream beds and great series of terraces composed of dust and snow. Dr. Sagan explores the possibility that if organisms existed on Mars, they may have the same bio-chemical make-up, eg. proteins, chromatin, and DNA, but may vary in composition.-
