Set against the backdrop of the 1960s and 1970s space exploration, the narrative delves into NASA's evolving strategies for deep space missions. Initially, missions were launched in pairs for safety, but after the successful Viking landings on Mars and the Voyagers' exploration of the outer planets, a shift occurred. The decision to reduce costs led to the launch of single probes, marking a significant change in approach to space exploration during this pivotal era.
