We still haven't interacted with all of the life on our own planet. There are things living in the dark places of the world that are difficult for us to reach.

Is it really necessary to preserve potential (but not confirmed) Martian life before establishing a beachhead?
- webXL 9y agoThat's my question as well. Judging by this thread, it appears we're not thinking hard enough about the unknowns, like what if Martian life is hostile to the microbes we depend on? Are we welcome there? Will we have to engineer some kind of virus that's friendly to our life support that wipes out these unfriendly lifeforms?
