We’re Sending Germs To Mars! We Invite Our Own Disaster.
Since I’ve read so much science fiction throughout the decades, I’ve begun to equate pretty much doing anything with Mars as either inviting our own Doom, or uncovering the presence of sentient life there. Sending germs to Mars? Jesus we’re precipitating our own demise.
