ICAMSR - RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT PLANETARY PROTECTION SINCE 2000
" When the entire biosphere hangs in the balance, it is adventuristic to the extreme to bring Martian life here. Sure, there is a chance it would do no harm; but that is not the point. Unless you can rule out the chance that it might do harm, you should not embark on such a course. " - Dr. Carl Woese, the Nobel Prize-nominated biophysicist who while at the University of Illinois discovered the third domain of life - the Archaea.
