Campaign Timeline
- NASA’s Viking 1 probe makes the first successful “soft landing” on another planet in the Sol System. It will be the first of many such missions over the following decades.
- Water is discovered on the surface of the planet Mars by the Viking 2 lander. This supports the notion that human life can be supported on other planets besides Earth in the Sol System
- The space shuttle Enterprise, NASA’s first reusable spacecraft, is flown for the first time. It is a test bed for other shuttles to follow and will never go into space itself.
