Nixon backs measured Mars plan amid space panel debate
President Nixon endorsed a cautious Mars exploration path after a 40 minute briefing with a presidential study group. The panel rejected two extremes and proposed three timelines for a Mars landing in the 1980s, later this century, or beyond the turn of the century, with budget limits noted. Scientists also reported Apollo 11 rocks contain unusual lunar chemistry and age up to 3.5 billion years, challenging origin theories.
