NASA goes to obscene lengths to sterilize spacecraft, but once people start going all bets are off. I doubt there would be any meaningful results from such an experiment before human explorers arrive.
Even when humans are getting on the rocket everything is assembled in a clean room. Human skin oils do not mix well with stuff in space, so they dont like to get it on anything that moves, or holds, or even looks like it might do something that has a purpose.
Filthy humanses.
We can name in the A.c.h.o.o., which stands for achoo, and it's just Earl going in and out of the airlock and sneezing at planets.
That's how weird space religions that worship sneezes are born.
Praise the Great Green Arkleseizure!
The end is nigh! The coming of The Great White Handkerchief is upon us!
I mean, it sounds like a very expensive way to kill some earth-based life.
Isn’t that how earth came to be?
I will believe this when you can point to the planet our life came from.
Mars had a warmer, wetter, period is its past. It has been hypothesized that Earth life could have come from Mars, though there is currently insufficient evidence to make a definitive conclusion.
This is absolute fucking horseshit.
Honestly, the content and quality of this sub has reached the point where I'm just leaving.
