Mars springtime mission urged for 1969 launch
Dr Allan H Brown says the U S should launch robot Mars explorers in 1969 to study Martian spring for possible plant life. Delays to 1971 or later push landings to dormant seasons and diminish chances for detecting life, since Earth and Mars orbital dynamics limit launch windows. The craft could sample surface material for chemical and biological analysis.
