By definition, we pollute it just by being there. How much pollution is too much?

Do we need to clean up our Apollo junk?

I guess that rules out colonization efforts....
Oh well, there are still the asteroids.

If a planet has no life, then there is no ecology to preserve.
Once we go there and start to "infect" it, none of it is native and does not need to be preserved unless we need it.

By definition, we pollute it just by being there. How much pollution is too much? Any bacterial pollution is too much. At issue is the salty, flowing brine discovered on Mars. It's close enough that we could send the Curiosity rover to investigate it except, oops, Curiosity wasn't properly sterilized. Nobody ever expected to find a flowing liquid on Mars so measures weren't taken to sterilize rovers to the level needed to prevent this type of contamination. Now we have a massive, wasted opportunity at exploration. The effort here is to not let that happen again.

Nice work if you can get it. Do nothing but scream for obedience at all times, and raise your budget every year.

I keep hoping we will polute. We should dump a baskeful of earth microbes on the planets and let them start their work.

If the Russians or Chinese get to these places, I’m sure they will follow U.N. protocol. Like the time China fired a weapon at a satellite in 2007 and added millions of pieces of space debris to earth’s orbit. Yeah, they’ll follow the rules.
