Note: Organic matter does not mean life. It is a precursor to life. It does make the possibility of life on ancient Mars more likely.

I hope we can make mars a “national park” so we don’t screw with it too much.

Unfortunately, I think it's much more likely that we will exploit it for any resources we can.

😩 even just watching the rover dump samples on mars surface fills me with frustration. Where humanity goes, there shall be rubbish
