      I hope that this type of stuff will finally get us beyond this policy of sterilizing everything going to Mars. When people go within a few decades it’s going to get forever contaminated anyway as you can’t decontaminate a living being of living things.

      I don’t want people to get set in this mindset as it may damage future ability for humans to go. They’ll say that humans can’t go because they would contaminate Mars. I can just imagine extremist environmentalists complaining about it (they already have).

      Edit: My point is that this shows that we’ve never sterilized vehicles properly. So the claims that we can avoid contamination are null and void.

      are there any papers about planting the seeds of life, in the form of extremophiles, in extraterrestrial worlds?
