"The eagle has landed..." What manmade object was the first to soft-land on the Red Planet?
Answer Viking 1
July of 1976 saw the first time NASA had touched down on Mars. The Soviets had tried to launch probes and, although they landed, they failed upon landing. Viking 1 didn't fail and, in fact, stayed on Mars for over six years, sending ground pictures for the first time back to Earth.
