Answer 1

Researchers in the LSU College of Science are leading the way in answering questions about Mars, its geology and its potential for supporting life. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is developing the capabilities needed to send humans to Mars, with the goal of sending a human mission to Mars in the 2030’s. LSU researchers are helping to answer questions relevant to that mission, such as whether humans might contaminate Mars with Earth microbes possessing the potential to survive there, and to design equipment and experiments that may go on new missions to Mars.

This week, the NASA social media team leads various selected science communicators, including myself, on a behind the scenes tour of the #JourneytoMars at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana. So the College of Science went behind the scenes with our own faculty and graduate students who conduct Mars-related research, to ask them your everyday questions about Mars! Enjoy

Answer 2

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away ... the U.S. space program did some special work. It wasn’t fantasy, it wasn’t Hollywood, it was within our solar system. I was fortunate to intern at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) the summer that Viking landed on Mars. I was there at 5:12 a.m. PDT, July 20, 1976, celebrating with the rest of the Viking team, when the landing confirmation, transmitted from Viking, was received minutes later at JPL. Yes, I was just an intern, but I was still part of a team that had put an extraordinary system together, functioning with incredible versatility, reliability and durability, tens of millions of miles away.
