It is impossible to have people anywhere without gazillions of microbes. Once humans land on Mars we’ve at the very least corrupted any evidence of life, and possibly destroyed an independent genesis of life.
Since all life on earth comes from a single progenitor, this is both an incalculable loss of potential knowledge, and also a greater extinction than all earth extinctions combined.
I propose a moratorium for say 200 years or so, or at least until we’ve explored more than a few square kilometers in detail.
Despite the insistence of one particular Nazi, a human on mars won’t happen anytime soon. He even “pivoted” to the moon once his stupid ass realized how difficult it’s going to be. We can keep sending better rovers and probes to truly understand a good portion of Mars’ history well before we corrupt it.
Sending humans to Mars is evil.

Very interesting take thanks for sharing
