Mars minus myth

One of the scientists of the Mariner 9 mission presents some of the geological findings of this mission to Mars. Photographs sent back have stripped away much of the myth surrounding the planet, while raising new questions. Discusses the origins of landforms, the discovery of water ice in the polar caps, the improbability of life and other topics.
