I think the "point someone calls it" will be when we see images of them under a microscope.
Is the theory that they are too deep under ground for a rover to dig up and look at?
- kadoban 5y agoImages under a microscope may not do it. They could be contamination from Earth either at time of test or before that.
- hyperbovine 5y agoGenetic analysis to the rescue. It will be glaringly obvious whether billions of years of divergent evolution have occurred or not.
- q1w2 5y agoFinding an entire culture in multiple Martian ground samples, with different bacteria would likely rule out Earth contamination.
