President Johnson was on hand to present awards to Pickering and two other Mariner scientists.* For cautious experts, the best of the photographs neither proved nor precluded the possible existence of life on Mars, although the planet's rugged terrain seemed hardly hospitable enough for the hardiest of bacteria.
