re: re: Why Barry DiGregorio's book will become a classic.

Or that Gil Levin is that insightful. Given the number of times he has been proven right, I wouldn't bet against him.
See some instance where Levin has been proven right in my review of Barry's book:

One is particularly telling: Levin's claim there were blue/green patches on some rocks at the Viking landing sites. This was confirmed in color enhanced images by Viking scientists.
However, *true color* images at the Pathfinder site have proven this in particularly stark terms:

The origin of the blue/green areas on Mars rocks is still unexplained ...
