Well you're going to have to stick a flag in it, so we'll have to go there...Originally posted by red_jon
I claim this planet in the name of England!
...you first.
Well the thing is, is there enough ice there to melt it all and make nice oceans and an atmosphere?

Question: have the Americans already put a flag there such as they did on the moon?Comment

The Soviet Union/Russia has sent over a dozen probes to Mars, all have failed, except one, which carried a Soviet penant.
So the Red flag flies over the Red Planet.Comment

Well that's rich, accusing other people of spamming Andy.
Actually I would expect that flag wouldn't count anymore as the Soviet Union is now defunct.Speaking of Erith:

Doing a bit of research, the probe actually crashed, although the flag probably survived the crash.
But I don't think flags constitute ownership of an entire planet anyway.Comment

Hmm. If you're worried about diseases from Martian creatures, why aren't you worried about getting diseases from dinosaur fossils?
After all, bacteria can survive that long. And I'd be more worried about earth based creatures with similar protein strains than a bunch of martian bugs.Comment

Let them develop the far side. Keep the side facing Earth the way it has always been.Originally posted by GP
Well...there are people who want to prevent the Moon form being ruined by development. No kidding. The UN is hearing their pitch...
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

My PC just sneezed.Originally posted by Sagacious Dolphin
The chances of us being affected by Martian virii is akin to the chances of a PC being susceptable to the common cold.
I think the big danger would come, not from an initial release of some bio-agent but rather from a mutated/adapted strain.
Simple micro-organisms mutate and adapt very easily and could conceivably pose a credible threat (albeit not necessarily lethal or even harmful) in a very short period of time.
The one thing possibly working against them would be the fact that Mars has so little radioactivity, hence native organisms might not be "used to" the level of change required for their survival/prosperity in a terrestrial environment.
I'm just speculating of course. Now who was the resident biochemist again?
