[FPSPACE] Habitable for microbes, Larry

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi all - 

I wonder why manned Mars enthusiasts do not seem to understand that every time there's a report like the one Larry alerted us to, the hazard of back contamination grows?

Larry, perhaps you'd like to share with us your views on the severity of the back contamination problem, and your estimates as to the costs involved in clearing it as a threat before manned Mars flight can take place?

I am assuming that most of the rest of you here are familiar with Marse Piat, and the solutions proposed for that mission design.
