    TEXT: 
  DL=, /LP, /TX  WASHINGTON  -  NASA  kicked off an intensive search for evidence of 
    life on other   worlds  yesterday  by  launching  the  first  of  13 
    Earth-to-Mars spaceships scheduled over the next 10 years. 
     
       After  a  one-day  delay because of high winds, the Mars Global 
    Surveyor blasted  off  from Florida's Kennedy Space Center at 50 seconds 
    after noon lugging six scientific instruments to explore the 
    Martian environment. 
  /TX     "It's the beginning of a long sequence of missions ultimately whose goal 
    must  be  to determine whether or not life was ever on Mars or even perhaps 
    exists  now,"  said  Wesley  Huntress  Jr.,  chief of space science for the 
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration. 
     
       The  unmanned  missions  -- 10 American, two Russian and one Japanese -- 
    were  planned  long  before  the  tantalizing  discovery  that at least two 
    Martian meteorites contain what may be relics of once-living organisms. 
     
       A  team  of  American scientists announced in August that they had found 
    what looked like fossilized bacteria in a 4.5 billion-year-old Martian rock 
    picked  up  in  Antarctica.  Just  last  week,  British  scientists who had 
    examined  a  second meteor from Mars said they had found similar signs that 
    life may have existed 600,000 years ago. 
     
       The   fossil   reports   added  urgency  and  excitement  to  humanity's 
    fascination with the Red Planet. 
     
       The  series  of  interplanetary voyages is supposed to culminate in 2005 
    with the return of samples of Martian rocks and soil for detailed study. 
     
       Scientists  say they need such materials to confirm the highly uncertain 
    evidence of microscopic organisms found in Martian rocks that fell to Earth 
    many years ago.
