An editorial in the Washington Star commented on the Viking. mission to Mars: "Perhaps the most miraculous thing about the Viking spacecraft ... is that the American people, pinched as they are by hard times, would more or less cheerfully dispatch a billion dollars on a one-way . . . journey into the trackless void." Still, enough might have been learned in the making of this remarkable vehicle to "constitute fair recompense for all the money it represents," and whatever it discovered at journey's end might be worth twice the cost.
