Did you know that we have already put
microbes on the moon before the recent Israeli lander crash? From
the Apollo landings, there are about 100 bags of astronaut poop that
were left behind! This pales in comparison to what might happen with
the planned SpaceX missions to Mars and the possible colonists that
will live there. Imagine what we microbe-infested humans will
contaminate next? Even despite our best efforts to sanitize, our
probes and landers that have visited other planets may have already
left a biological deposit behind. It is inevitable that we will be
sharing our microbes every place we explore beyond Earth.
