Book excerpt: The feasibility of extended flight in space has become more imminent in recent years and has increased interest in studies of the planets as possible environments for life. The existence of life on the planet Mars has been hypothesized by several authors. It is generally stated that the Martian planet would probably be the most likely planet in our solar system, other than Earth, capable of supporting life. The nature of such possible Martian life has been suggested to be similar to certain simple forms of terrestrial life. The first known attempt to test the validity of this assumption by means of laboratory experimentation was reported from our laboratory. These continuing studies on the survival and multiplication of certain terrestrial forms of life under a simulated Martian environment will be elaborated upon in this communication.
