    A key thing to take from this is that we MIGHT have destroyed the only life we have found SO FAR. There is a LOT of Mars to explorer and we haven’t even left the landing sight when looking at the surface of the planet as a whole. Exploration and science will never be perfectly clean. If there is life we will find it at some point.

      Right. The odds of us just happening to land at the exact spot with the only life on the entire planet are vanishingly small.
