Mars of our solar system draws interest from Convair engineer
Grace C. Campbell reports on Carl F. Miller of Convair Astronautics General Dynamics who spoke to the Mount Dora Rotary about exploration of Mars as the closest body with potential life. He argued Mercury is too hot and Venus unfit for life, while Mars offers seasonal changes and a chance of life within our lifetimes, and noted other solar systems may host life as well. A separate brief mentions Stewart Nibert’s brother undergoing an operation in Rhodes, Ohio.
