Do you think there are biological hazards on mars and should the scientific community be concerned

Like have you ever seen "The Thing" (Directed by John Carpenter) this could be a fine example of the possibilities there are also confirmed microbe readings on mars maybe even other planets or on our satellites.

The possible hazards associated with extraterrestrial microbes are a very real concern, and scientists are well aware of that.

When the first men came back from the moon after the Apollo 11 mission, they were kept in quarantine for some time afterwards, in case something came back with them. It was incredibly unlikely that anything could live on the moon to infect them, but nobody took the chance the first time they went there.

It will be the same if or when actual martian material is ever brought back here, even more so probably because there's a much better chance that mars may have microbes. They'll be very careful with it.

I doubt you'd ever see anything like the thing though. They're mainly worried about the possibility of some new unpredictable infection or disease.

Have you ever seen "King Kong" (Directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack). This could be a fine example of the possibilities that might exist on other islands.

Somehow though, just like the myth of Mars microbes, it all looks like fiction.


Cheers!

No, even "if" lets say something existed on Mars that would wreck us on earth, its on Mars, isolated and would never get here or if somehow managed to travel that unrealistic distance would burn up in the atmosphere like everything else. Lots of things to worry about, Mars isn't one of them.

yes I definitely think that the scientific community and NASA should be alerted to this... (I have seen "The Thing" !).
