Has anyone given any thought to the incredible pollution to the Martian atmosphere that these landings are causing, or to the unimaginable pollution even one human landing and return to Earth would cause. No future surface exploration would be left untainted.
It was different on the moon, because there was no atmosphere to spread the rocket propellant exhaust around.
I think you can only use the term "pollution" in the presence of an eco-system, perhaps "spoiling" the wilderness would be more appropriate terminology. C. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search - Find what youre looking for faster http://search.yahoo.com
