NASA might have killed life on Mars

A NASA lander may have killed life on Mars, scientist claims — and colleagues took his theory ‘surprisingly well’
Oops? Life on Mars may have been found — before it was accidentally destroyed during a NASA mission nearly 50 years ago, one scientist has suggested. In 1975, just six years after Apollo 11 touched down on the moon,
Scientist claims NASA may have accidentally killed all life on Mars
A scientist has said NASA may have accidentally killed life on Mars during a research mission to find it.For decades, scientists have been trying to find any signs of life on the Red Planet with no conclusive evidence as of yet.
NASA May Have Inadvertently Killed Life on Mars, Scientist Says
In all our explorations of Mars to date, no evidence has been found that meets the rigorous standards to claim that we have conclusively found life. But, decades ago in the 1970s, when the Viking landers became the first US mission to safely land on and ...
Is life on Mars destroyed? NASA's Viking mission new hypothesis challenges 50-year-old findings
NASA's Viking missions to Mars may have inadvertently eliminated Martian life. The missions used water in experiments to detect life. Astrobiologist D
Nasa's Viking landers accidentally killed life on Mars, says astrobiologist
Astrobiologist Dirk Schulze-Makuch believes Nasa's Viking missions have inadvertently 'eliminated' Martian life. He also mentioned that Martian life may have adapted to the planet's dry environment
Did NASA's Viking landers accidentally kill life on Mars? Why one scientist thinks so
Dirk Schulze-Makuch is a scientist who thinks NASA's Viking landers could have inadvertently destroyed the life they were searching for. In this Q&A, we ask why.
Did we kill life on Mars before discovering it?
The 1976 Viking landers were the first U.S. missions to land on Mars, conducting the only experiments dedicated to detecting biosignatures in Martian soil.
Scientist Says NASA Lander May Have Accidentally Killed Life on Mars
Astrobiologist Dirk Schulze-Makuch from the Technische Universität Berlin in Germany believes that humans may have unintentionally killed all life on Mars in the 1970s. NASA's Viking 1 mission in 1975 saw two spacecraft land on the Red Planet's surface and conduct an experiment involving mixing water and nutrients with collected soil samples.
