Earth organisms that can survive space?

Do you really think those organisms can survive on Mars?

So no worries about the Ruskies’ drill bit in Lake Vostok, but major concerns about the US drill bit on Mars?

Whatsamatter — Anti-Americans and moslims didn’t build the Mars drill bit?

Since we know that material from Mars has reached earth in the form of meteorites, it is indeed possible (if not probable) that earth materials have been blasted out and have landed on Mars.

We should obviously always be careful, but methinks this may be much ado about something that’s already happened - through natural forces.

Drill mars like a drunken prom date.

"Curiosity’s drill bits may be contaminated with Earth microbes. If they are, and if those bits touch water, the organisms could survive."

So what?

Curiosity is now to be renamed the JackWagon.

Well, Obama was claiming credit for Curiosity just yesterday so I guess he gets the blame as well.

If we ever establish a manned colony on Mars won’t that also contaminate the planet? Or are we going to export some Sierra Club ninnies to make sure we don’t pollute the place?

We’re going to have to eventually terraform the place before we can live there. Might as well get started.

The Invasive Species regulations and a “swarm of AgencyPersons” will soon “eat out the substance” of those critters.

ATTENTION ALL EARTHLINGS! KNEEL TO RECEIVE A MESSAGE FROM MARTIAN COMMANDER GELSNOT - You have invaded our planet and shot lasers at our rocks and now you plan to use a sharp instrument upon us. Cease immediately! As terms of your surrender, you will send us Hostess Ding-Dongs and salsa! Oh, and DVDs of your ruler Barney the purple dinosaur. You may now return to your banal existence.

Who’d a thunk it - the Martians have a EPA equipped with a bunch of job-killing regulations.

I don't think I'll worry too much about bugs on Mars. In fact, send some really tough lichens from the arctic areas and start seeding the place. Dig into the ice and bury something that can break down the Mars soil.

Have at it, turn the red planet a little green.
