Correct Answer: 1976 - The first craft to land on Mars was in 1971 - Mars-3 from the USSR - but did not transmit colour images. The 1976 craft, Viking 1 and Viking 2 from the US, orbited and then landed, transmitting images from a camera with a movable mirror to illuminate 12 photo diodes designed to be sensitive to different frequencies of light.
@rookie54 saidIf you're going to give the answer doesn't that kind of make the poll meaningless.

Before I learned to chuckle mindlessly, I was headed to an early grave just like this thread. But that's just the way things go. Ho ho ho.
