A Cornell University scientist warns we may have unknowingly taken life to Mars. In a BBC article, Christopher Mason explains how microbes could survive even NASA’s strict spacecraft sterilization processes. These resilient organisms might hitch a ride on rovers like Perseverance and potentially colonize the Red Planet. This raises concerns about “forward contamination” — introducing Earth life to alien environments. If signs of life are found on Mars, they may not be Martian after all.
