This film traces man's evolving, sometimes imaginative theories of Mars from its discovery in 1669 to the historical Viking landing (1976) on its surface. Through high-resolution photographs and animation, you'll discover a planet whose mountains, plains and canyons dwarf anything found here on Earth. The program explains the new discoveries and new mysteries relating to the most Earth-like planet in the solar system.
