... The mechanical hand is working again, thanks to the efforts of our technicians. Soil samples are being collected and examined... Soon we will know the answer to the question whether there is life on Mars.

Life on Mars? Of all the planets in our solar system, Mars is nearest in location and physical conditions to our Earth. So the scientists behind the Viking Mission were hopeful of finding life on Mars. But they were in for a disappointment.
The Viking Mission found no signs of life on Mars.
Explanation:
Following the first press conference, after sometimes NASA released another announcement. At the second press release, the scientist stated that the mechanical hand had been reactivated, and he congratulated the technicians for their hard work. It meant that when it stopped working, the scientist had stated that they would deal with the problem and fix it as quickly as possible. Similarly, the technical team had laboured tirelessly to activate the mechanical hand. The team, on the other hand, was unable to identify why the mechanical hand stopped working. They were unaware of the fact that the hand of Tilloo was the cause for the problem.
In addition, the scientist stated that the soil samples had been taken and sent for evaluation, and the answer to whether there is life on Mars will be announced shortly in a news conference. There are eight planets in the solar system, and Mars is the closest to Earth in terms of location and physical properties. As a result, the Viking Mission scientists were enthusiastic about the chance of finding life on Mars. They were, however, in for a letdown. It meant that what they expected didn't happen. At last, the Viking Mission found that on Mars, there were no indications of life.
