In 1976 the Viking sent back much data that supported the proposition that life once existed on Mars. The main supporting factor was the abundance of water in the Martian soil- so much that is ruined one of the Viking instruments that was collecting data from the soil.<br /><br />Does anyone know what "Directed Panspermia" means?<br /><br />RY<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11667735-114426578458566321?l=exosociology.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Richard E.

There is a vast amount of literature that supports this hypothesis. I have looked at this issue from a Sociological perspective since creating the term "Exosociology" in 1974.<br /><br />Life on other planets exists as a "Social Fact" even if it does not exist as a biological fact. If we ever discover life forms in a biological sense, the implications will be largely sociological for our planet.</strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11667735-111167250687477369?l=exosociology.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Richard E.
