Was there ever life on Mars? Scientists want to find out, so on December 11, 1998, they launched the Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft which began orbit around the Red Planet on September 23, 1999, to observe the climate and map the Martian surface.

Then on January 3,1999, they launched the Mars Polar Lander spacecraft carrying two basketball-sized
aeroshells.

On December 3, 1999, these will detach and slam into the planet surface at 450 mph, each releasing a Deep Space 2 Microprobe that will analyze the subsurface soil.

Ten minutes later the Polar Lander will touch down near the South Pole
on Mars. Using a robotic arm equipped with a miniature camera, it will search for traces of frozen water under the planet's surface which could be evidence of previous life on Mars!

This rare and authentic toy is part of my personal collection and has been archived by me, Joe Galliani, the creator of the Street Sharks, and President of Mr. Joe's Really Big Productions for over two decades in my home's attic.
