Scientists discover "hard evidence" of own existence

Cape Canaveral--As NASA scientists continue to scour the face of Mars, analysts within the aerospace organization are admitting that repeated pummeling of the planet with metallic hybrids and non-biodegradable textiles could make their search for life difficult.

"We have concluded in our findings that we exist," said one NASA insider. "We have also concluded that since we exist, that some remotely-guided waste management system would be in the . . .

So, like, if we used biodegradable textiles it would be better?

If he thinks mars is trashy, he should check out near-earth orbit!

There's no "bio" on Mars to degrade textiles or anything else for that matter. I reckon Mars would be a good place to set-up a mummy cemetary.

Exactly my point. In fact, if we did use biodegradable materials, the bio that would consume them would be our own hitchhiking germs. Sure, the Martian environment would be pretty hostile to them, but why send a food supply to even slightly increase the odds that a colony of earth bio could survive and adapt? Then there is that tiny, tiny chance that we could be feeding the natives :)
