We can consider three possible responses to the discovery of indigenous life on #Mars 🔴
• Leave it alone
• Alter Mars to enhance the chances of that biota to become a global scale biology
• Collect samples for laboratory preservation, then replace or augment it with #terrestrial life formsIt is very unlikely that we would drive to extinction any native #Martian #microorganisms 🦠 by extending the habitability of Mars

It may be feasible to fabricate tiny reflective #nanorods from iron and aluminum found in the #Martian soil and launch them into the #atmosphere. “The interaction of those particles with the incoming sunlight ☀️ would then cause that solar energy to be preferentially forward scattered to the surface. That would then cause a very strong #greenhouse effect, and we can warm it up several tens of degrees.” 🌡️ https://www.ucf.edu/news/ucf-planetary-scientists-expertise-informs-new-method-for-terraforming-mars/

Do indigenous #Martian 🔴 bacteria have precedence over human exploration ? https://marspapers.org/paper/McKay_2000.pdf

Scientists have speculated about the possibility of introducing #Chroococcidiopsis 🦠 to the #Martian 🔴 environment to aid in the formation of an aerobic environment. In addition to #oxygen production, Chroococcidiopsis could aid in the formation of #soil on the Martian surface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroococcidiopsis#Mars_colonization
