From the David Ross book, UFOs and the Complete Evidence from Space
The Viking 1 lander was released from the main orbiter,
and went down to a landing on the Chryse Plain on July 20,
1976. A parachute was used to brake the 1200 pound lander as
it plunged to the surface. We can understand a parachute
working in the Earth's atmosphere of several hundred
millibars pressure. But since NASA stated that the surface
pressure on Mars is only 7 millibars, and less than a
millibar a few miles up, what inflated the parachute and
caused any kind of drag to slow down the descending lander?
The answer is simple: the same dense atmosphere that was
photographed during the telescopic studies, and the same one
that the NASA censors deny is there.
