Viking May Have Missed Martian Life

According to one Dr. Schulze-Makuch the Viking probes sent to Mars in the 1970's may well have missed martian life because their instruments were looking for lifeforms very unlikely to have evolved on Mars. I fact the tests were likely absolutely lethal to any Martian bacteria that might exist.

This interesting and promising hypothesis is, of course, given the worst possible spin by CNN.

Preemption interplanetary...

I for one am shedding no tears over the fact that earth children will never have to cower in fear of fierce Martian tripods.
