Since we are about to colonize Mars, it may be beneficial if we think about what we bring to a Martian ecosystem. While Mars is technically sterile, if life were to persist even in the minutest of quantities on its surface, our introduction into that ecosystem will most likely provoke a re-shaping of that environment. These two articles lay out those concerns in full, and from them, it may also explain how exactly humans may considered an invasive an invasive species, and how that could ultimately devastate a Martian ecosystem, no matter how "primitive" it may be. ]]> 2017-10-16 22:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/carrieanne_platt/eva936jzo5z0/wish/197590791 Jackson Stremick jackson_stremick https://padlet.com/carrieanne_platt/eva936jzo5z0/wish/197857652 In the article it explains that NASA probably has the most ethical plan for sending people to mars. By sending robots and probes to the planet first to learn things about the planet the crew can be more prepared when they set out for the mission and have a better chance of success.

They found that male specimens from mice were still viable after exposure of 9 months and were able to produce offspring, but not for females. Severe damage occurred to the ovaries raising questions about the ethical implication of sending women into space for long periods of time experiencing 100x more radiation daily than on Earth.
