    I suppose so, but I believe they always make sure not a single trace of Earth life is left on the equipement they sent to Mars, for obvious reasons. So they already control for that.

    Besides looking pretty messy, I’m not sure this does any harm.

        Mars is inhabited by robots, but the Moon is inhabited by tardigrades because China crashed a lander.

            Wrong country and wrong outcome, I really nailed it. Given how hardy they are, I can’t say I’m convinced they’re all dead. Not that they’d actually be active without air and water
