Peter Smith: We built [---1---] missions that are kind of human-like — an arm, taste, sense of smell, touch. All of these sensors are very similar to human senses.
You're listening to Peter Smith, Principal Investigator of NASA's Phoenix Mars Mission. Phoenix is a robotic lander that probed Mars for signs of life in 2008, and found some possible evidence in the planet's soil.
Peter Smith: What we're seeing is an [---2---] of chemicals that on the Earth would be considered important for life.
Phoenix explored the northern polar region of Mars, and found traces of a salt there, called 'perchlorate'.
Peter Smith: Perchlorate is an energy source for life on the Earth. And we see a range of salts that we think of as [---3---]. You know, you get them in your mineral pill in the morning. And so these are the kind of systems that we would expect on the Earth would be [---4---].
Smith said the kinds of minerals found by Phoenix are typically created by liquid water. [---5---] More analysis and lab work here on Earth might determine whether — as recently as a few million years ago — Mars had a wet environment, friendly to life.
